Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

3 cups of flour produces 2 batches of dinner rolls. So, if one batch makes 15 rolls, then 2 batches makes 30 rolls. Therefore, 3 cups of flour produces 30 rolls.

Laura wants to find how much flour she needs to make 12 rolls.

Here's the setup:

Let x be the number of cups of flour needed. Then,

(3 cups of flour)/(30 rolls)=(x cups of flour)/(12 rolls)

This is the set up for all equations involving ratios. The units should be consistent. Notice how I have flour/rolls=flour/rolls.

It is not necessary to solve the equation, but you should to make sure your answer makes sense. By cross-multiplying, we get x=(3*12)/30 or 1.2 cups.

This solution makes sense. Because 3 cups of flour produces 30 rolls, one cup produces 10 rolls. We need slightly more than 1 cup to get 12 rolls.
