Respuesta :

Answer:

Use 1 cup sugar to make 2 dozen (24) cookies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that 1 dozen = 12 pieces

Write and solve an equation of ratios:  # of cookies on one side and # of cups of sugar on the other side:

  18 cookies         (3/4) cup sugar

--------------------- =  ------------------------

 24 cookies                      x

Cross-multiplying results in:

18x = 18, so that x must be 1.

Use 1 cup sugar to make 2 dozen (24) cookies.
