Answer 2

Given that the preparation of 100 brownies requires 6 eggs, 5 cups flour, and 2 sticks of butter.

This can be written in the form of a chemical equation as,

$6 eggs + 5 cups flour+2 butter sticks ----> 100 Brownies$

We have to calculate the eggs required to prepare 50 brownies.

Mole ratio of Eggs to brownies: $\frac{6 eggs}{100 brownies}$

Eggs required to prepare 50 brownies = $50 brownies * \frac{6 eggs}{100 brownies} = 3 eggs$

Therefore, 3 eggs would be required to prepare 50 brownies.
