Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a). Amount of the flour and eggs needed for 1 batch of cookies = 5 cups and 3 eggs
Amount of flour flour needed for 2 batches (A) = 5×2 = 10 cups
Number of eggs needed for 2 batches (D) = 3×2 = 6
Amount of flour flour needed for 3 batches (B) = 5×3 = 15 cups
Number of eggs needed for 2 batches (E) = 3×3 = 9
Amount of flour flour needed for 3 batches (C)= 5×4 = 20 cups
Number of eggs needed for 2 batches (F) = 3×4 = 12
b). Ratio of cups of flour to number of eggs = 5 : 3
c). Amount of flour and eggs used in 4 batches of cookies = 20 cups and 12 eggs
d). Ratio of flour and eggs = [tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex]
If the number of eggs used = 6
Amount of flour to be used,
[tex]\frac{5}{3}=\frac{\text{Amount of flour}}{6}[/tex]
Amount of flour = [tex]\frac{5}{3}\times 6[/tex] = 10 cups
e). By using the same ratio,
[tex]\frac{5}{3}=\frac{15}{\text{Number of eggs}}[/tex]
Number of eggs used = [tex]15\times \frac{3}{5}[/tex] = 9
