Question

2. A cookie recipe calls for 2 cups of brown sugar and 3 cups of flour. If a baker increases the recipe and uses 12 cups of flour, how many cups of brown sugar should the baker use?

Answer 1

12 cups of flour is 4 times the quantity in the recipe, so 4 times as much brown sugar is needed, 4×2=8 cups of brown sugar.

Answer 2

8 cups of brown sugar.
Because You do 3 cups of flour × 4 to get 12, so u do the same thing to the other one. 2 cups of brown sugar × 4 which equals 8.
