6 0

There are 8 fluid ounces in 1 cup. You can solve this problem using these proportions:

$\frac{8}{1} = \frac{144}{x}$

It states that there are 8 fluid ounces in every 1 cup and 144 fluid ounces in every <em>x </em>cups. We have to solve for <em>x </em>using cross-multiplication:

$8x = 144 \\ x=18$

Vickie can fill 18 1 cup candle molds with 144 fluid ounces of scented candle wax.

phoebe needs to use 3/4 cup to make one batch of cookies how many batches can she make with 12 cups of sugar?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll}\stackrel{sugar}{cups}&\stackrel{cookies}{batches}\\\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\\frac{3}{4}&1\\\\12&b\end{array}\implies \cfrac{\quad \frac{3}{4}\quad }{12}=\cfrac{1}{b}\implies \cfrac{\quad \frac{3}{4}\quad }{\frac{12}{1}}=\cfrac{1}{b}\\\\\\\cfrac{3}{4}\cdot \cfrac{1}{12}=\cfrac{1}{b}\implies \cfrac{3}{48}=\cfrac{1}{b}\implies 3b=48\implies b=\cfrac{48}{3}\implies b=16$
