Question

Stan's cookie recipe makes 24 cookies and calls for exactly 384 sprinkles. He is wondering how many sprinkles (p) he will need to make 60 cookies. He assumes each cookie will have the same number of sprinkles.
How many sprinkles does Stan need to make 60 cookies?

Answer 1

Answer: 960

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Number of cookies = 24

Number of sprinklers required for 24 cookies = 384

Number of sprinklers required for 1 cookie = 384/24

Number of sprinklers required for 60 cookies = 384/24*60

                                                                            = 960

Answer 2

Given:

Stan's cookie recipe makes 24 cookies.

It needs exactly 384 sprinkles.

To Find:

Number of sprinkles needed for 60 cookies

Solution

Find the number of sprinkles needed for 1 cookie:

24 cookies = 384 sprinkles

1 cookie = 384 ÷ 24

1 cookie = 16 sprinkles

Find the number of sprinkles needed for 60 cookies:

1 cookie = 16 sprinkles

60 cookies = 16 x 60

60 cookies = 960 sprinkles

Answer: Stan will need 960 sprinkles for 60 cookies.
