Write a program that asks the user how many cookies they want to make and then displays the number of cups of each ingredient needed for the specified number of cookies in the following format: You need 5 cups of sugar, 3 cups of butter, and 7 cups of flour.

Answer 1

The program that asks the user how many cookies they want to make and then displays the number of cups of each ingredient is corresponds to the ingredients mentioned above.

Further explanation

Python is a general-purpose programming language. We want to write a python program that asks the user how many cookies they want to make and then displays the number of cups of each ingredient.

48 cookies = 1.5 cups of sugar + 1 cup of butter + 2.75 cups of flour, so:

def main():

   cookies = float(input("How many cookies would you like to make?\n>"))

   sugar = (1.5 * cookies) / 48.0

   butter = cookies / 48

   flour = (2.75 * cookies) / 48

   print("To make ", cookies, " cookies, you will need:\n", \

         format(sugar, '.2f'), " cups of sugar\n", \

         format(butter, '.2f'), " cups of butter\n", \

         format(flour, '.2f'), " cups of flour", sep='')

   redoQuery()  

def redoQuery():

   yn = input("Would you like to check another batch size? (y/n)\n>")

   if yn == 'y':

       main()

   elif yn =='n':

       exit()

   else:

       print("Please enter only a lowercase \'y\' or lowercase \'n\'," \

             "then press enter")

       redoQuery()

main()

The run program is shown in the attachment below.
