Theo wants to use a cookie recipe that makes 36 cookies, but he wants
to increase the number of cookies to
54. If the recipe calls for 2 cups
of sugar, how much sugar should
he use?

1

1

3

cups

Explanation:

This is a ratio question. If we are comparing the ratios, we could say

24

36

=

x

2

where x = the amount of sugar to make 24 cookies.

We can multiply both sides by 2 to cancel the 2 on the right, making

24

(

2

)

36

=

x

.

Simplify this and we get

48

36

and eventually

4

3

or

1

1

3

.
