Answer:
6 cups of sugar
Step-by-step explanation:
a) how do you even mess up a cookie recipe that bad, she’s going to have 7 batches more than she wanted (ignore this)
and b) Alice put in 8 times as much butter more than she should’ve (1/8x8=1 cup), so multiply the amount of sugar by 8.
3/4x8=24/4, or 6 cups of sugar
If Alice puts in 1 cup of butter by mistake. Then the amount of the sugar that is needed will be 6 cups.
A ratio is an ordered set of integers a and b expressed as a/b, with b never equaling 0. A proportional is a mathematical expression in which two things are equal.
The cookie recipe needs 3/4 cup of sugar and 1/8 cup of butter.
Then the ratio will be
r = (3/4) / (1/8)
r = 3/4 x 8/1
r = 6
If Alice puts in 1 cup of butter by mistake.
Then the amount of the sugar that is needed will be
We know that the ratio remains constant. Then we have
Let x be the amount of sugar that is needed.
x / 1 = r
x = 6
