Solution 1:
The recipe for cookies requires 3 eggs for every 2 cups of sugar.
Applying unitary method here,
So for 1 egg sugar required will be 2/3 cups.
Now we have to find number of cups of sugar required for 12 eggs.
Sugar required for 12 eggs = (2/3) * 12 = 8 cups
But Maritza's mom bought only 6 cups of sugar.
So her mom is short of 2 cups of sugar.
Solution 2:
Hamza bought 8 gallons of brown paint.
If 1/4 of a gallon of white paint is mixed with 2 gallons of brown paint, he would get the shade of brown he desired.
Now we have to find quantity of white paint for 8 gallons of brown paint.
For 2 gallons of brown paint = 1/4 gallons of white paint required
For 1 gallon of brown paint = 1/8 gallons of white paint required
For 8 gallons of brown paint = (1/8)*8 gallons of white paint required
Answer : For 8 gallons of brown paint 1 gallon of white paint is required.
