Answer 2

Answer:

2 sticks of butter

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's figure out how many cookies you can make with one stick of butter. So, we can divide 3 by 3 and 24 by 3...

$\frac{3}{3} = 1$

$\frac{24}{3} = 8$

Now that we know that 1 stick of butter makes 8 cookies, we can multiply the amount of cookies till it becomes 16...

8×? = 16

We could rewrite this equation as division...

16÷8 = 2 sticks of butter

Now we know that we need 2 sticks of butter for 16 cookies...

Hope this Helps!!!
