Answer 1

Answer:

Theo Should use 1.3 cups of Sugar to make 24 cookies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Number of cookies required by recipe = 36 cookies

Number of cookies Theo wants to use = 24 cookies

Number of cups sugar recipe requires = 2 cups

We need to find Number of cups sugar Theo should use to make cookie according to recipe.

Now,

For 36 cookies = 2 cups of sugar

So For 24 cookies = Number of cups of sugar required for 24 cookies.

By Using Cross Multiplication we get;

Number of cups of sugar required for 24 cookies = $\frac{24\times2}{36}= 1.33\ cups$

Hence Theo Should use 1.3 cups of Sugar to make 24 cookies.
