Question

it takes 2 1/2 cups of sugar to make 4 dozen sugar cookies. How much sugar is needed to make 120 sugar cookies

Answer 1

Answer:

6.25 cups of sugar

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's make a proportion expression:

2.5/48 = x/120

Let x be the amount of sugar needed to make 120 sugar cookies.

Cross multiply:

120*2.5=48x

48x=300

x=6.25

So, you would need 6 1/4 cups or 6.25 cups of sugar to make 120 sugar cookies.
