Question

A biscuit recipe calls for 312 cups of flour to make 24 biscuits. Aaron wants to make only 8 biscuits, so he needs to use 13 of the amount of flour. How many cups of flour should Aaron use?

Answer 1

Answer:

104 cups.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use a ratio:

biscuits : cups

   24     :   312

     8     :   104

He should use 104 cups of flour. (That's a lotta flour)

Answer 2

Answer:

104 cups.

Step-by-step explanation:

8 is 1/3 of 24 so by proportion:

Number of cups = 312 * 1/3

= 104.
