Answer:

9.6 ounces butter

8 ounces sugar

12 ounces flour

4 eggs

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to write them down so it's easier for me to look at.

12 ounces butter

10 ounces sugar

15 ounces flour

5 eggs

Now make a ratio: 12 : 15 = 4 : 5

Apply this to all of the ingredients.

12 * 0.8 = 9.6

10 * 0.8 = 8

15 * 0.8 = 12

5 * 0.8 = 4

Answer:

Below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

12 is  12/15 = 4/5 of 15 so you multiply the amounts of each ingredient by 4/5 or 0.8.

Butter: 12 * 0.8 = 9.6 oz.

Sugar:  10 * 0.8 = 8 oz.

Flour:  15 * 0.8 = 12 oz.

Eggs: 5 * 0.8 = 4 eggs.
