Question

You are baking chocolate chip cookies. One batch makes 6 dozen big cookies. The recipe calls for 3/4 cup brown sugar. How many cups of brown sugar would you need it you wanted to make 15 dozen​ cookies?

Answer 1

So based on the given problem above, it says that, for one batch with 3/4 cup of brown sugar can make 6 dozen big cookies. If we are to make 15 dozen cookies, what we need to do is to divide 3/4 cup of brown sugar by 6 dozen, and we get 0.125. This means that per dozen, it is equivalent to 0.125 cup of brown sugar. If we multiply it by 15 dozens, we get 1.875 cup or 1 and 7/8 cup of brown sugar. Hope this answer helps.
