A cookie recipe called for 2 4⁄6 cups of sugar for every 2⁄3 cup of flour. If you made a batch of cookies using 1 cup of flour, how many cups of sugar would you need?
Turn 2 4/6 into an improper fraction 16/6 To turn 2/3 into 1 cup, multiply my 3/2 for both the flour and sugar. 1 cup flour = 3/2(16/6) 1=48/12 Reduce 1 cup flour = 4 cups sugar.
