Question

Read the scenario below.

Angela is making cookies for the school bake sale. Her recipe calls for 2 cups of brown sugar. If the recipe she is using makes 8 dozen cookies, how much brown sugar will she need to make 10 dozen cookies?

If x represents the amount of sugar needed to make the cookies, which of the following could not be used to solve the problem?

Answer 1

Explanation:

So basically 10/8 is 5/4 which is 1.25 or 1 1/4, so just multiplky that by 2 which is the same as 10/4 which is 2.5 so she needs 2 1/2 or 2.5 cups of brown sugar.
