Question

Maritza is baking cookies to bring to school and share with her friends on her birthday. The recipe requires 3 eggs for every 2 cups of sugar. To have enough cookies for all her friends, Maritza determined she would need 12 eggs. If her mom got 6 cups of sugar, does Marissa have enough sugar to make the cookies? Why or why not?Enter your question

Answer 1

No, because if you work with fraction and do $\frac{3}{2}$ (3 eggs for every 2 cups) then you would be multiplying 3x4 and now you have tot do that to the demominator so she would need 8 cups of sugar
