Question

the label on a 1 1/2 pound bag of flour states that it will make 225 cookies. based on this information, how many cookies will 1 pound of flour make?

Answer 1

`1(1)/(2) \text { pound} = 225 \text { cookies}`

To find 1 pound :


`= 225 / 1(1)/(2)`


`= 225 / (3)/(2)`


`= 225 * (2)/(3)`


`= 150 \text { cookies}`

Answer 2

1 pound of flour should make 150 cookies.
