Problema Solution
You need 1 1/4 cups of sugar to make 20 cookies. How many cups of sugar will you need to make 14 cookies?
Answer provided by our tutors
let x = cups of sugar needed to make 14 cookies
1 1/4 = (1*4 + 1)/4 = 5/4
(5/4) : 20 = x : 14
by solving we find
x = 7/8 cups of sugar
x = 0.875 cups for sugar
