Question

Docs cookie recipe calls for 3 cups of sugar and 2 cups of flour. how many cups of sugar needed for 14 cups of flour?

Answer 1

21 cups of sugar

Explanation:

so it gives you the ratio for cups of sugar(or as i'm going to use it, COS) and cups of flower(COF), which is 3:2, so if you have 14 cups of flower, you would divide 14 by the COF part of the ratio, which is 2, which gives you 7, then you would multiply the COS part of the ratio, which is 3, by 7 to get the number of cups of sugar needed for 14 cups of flower.
