Question

A recipe for chocolate chip cookies calls for 4 cups of flour and 3 tablespoons of brown sugar. How many tablespoons of brown sugar would be needed if the amount of flour were increased to 12 cups?

Answer 1

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find it using the ratio of the number of cups of flour to the number of tablespoons of brown sugar.

Let us consider the number of tablespoons of brown sugar as x.

4/3 = 12/x

x=(12*3)/4

x=3*3

x=9

Therefore, we need 9 tablespoons of brown sugar.
