Question

Colt uses 112 cups of sugar to make 234 dozen cookies. How many cups of sugar should Colt use to make 1 dozen cookies?

Answer 1

We can use proportion to solve this

Sugar(in cups) Cookies(in dozens)
112. 234
(?). 1


Now we can cross multiply to find x

234x = 112*1
x= 112/234
x= 0.478 *approximately 0.5* cups/ dozen
