Answer:
[tex]2\frac{2}{3}[/tex] cups of sugar.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let s represent amount needed to make the full batch.
We have been given that Marlene only has enough ingredients to make a 1/4 batch of cookies. For the smaller batch, she only needs 2/3 cup of sugar.
This means that 1/4 of sugar is equal to 2/3 cups. We can represent this information in an equation as:
[tex]\frac{1}{4}s=\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
Upon multiplying both sides by 4, we will get:
[tex]4\cdot \frac{1}{4}s=4\cdot\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
[tex]s=\frac{4\cdot2}{3}[/tex]
[tex]s=\frac{8}{3}[/tex]
[tex]s=2\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
Therefore, the recipe for a full batch of cookies call for [tex]2\frac{2}{3}[/tex] cups of sugar.
