Question

Baxter wants to make 1 1/2 times the recipe. He need more or less sugar then violet need if she doubles the recipe

2 3/4 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup butter
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla

Answer 1

I think he will need less because she's making more than him so he would need .5 less that her

Answer 2

The question is essentially asking if 1.5*1.5 is more or less than 2*1.5.

Since the 1.5 is constant and 2>1.5, we know that Baxter needs more sugar than Violet because Violet has more sugar already so Baxter will NEED more.
