Answer 1

Answer:

To make 16 cookies you will need 1 cup of sugar.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Sugar needed to make 20 cookies =  1 1/4 cups

To Find:

Sugar needed to make 16 cookies = ?

Solution:

For making 20 cookies 1 1/4 cups of sugar is used

So to make 1 cookie  we need

=>$\frac{1\frac{1}{4}}{20}$

=>$\frac{\frac{5}{4}}{20}$

=>$\frac{5}{4} \times \frac{1}{20}$

=>$\frac{5}{80}$

=>$\frac{1}{16}$ cups of sugar

Now to make 16 cookies  we need,

=>$16 \times \text{sugar needed to make one cookie}$

=>$16 \times\frac{1}{16}$

=>$\frac{16}{16}$

=> 1
