first we need to know how many kids how much eggs and sugar to answer this sorry

Answer:

Maritza has not enough sugar to make the cookies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Missing data

The recipe requires 3 eggs for every 2 cups of sugar.

Maritza determined she would need 12 eggs.  

Her mom bought 6 cups of sugar.


Writing data as a proportion gives

(3 eggs)/(2 cups of sugar) = (12 eggs)/(x cups of sugar)

Omitting units

3/2 = 12/x

Multiplying by x in both sides

3/2 x = 12

Dividing by 3 and multiplying by 2 on both sides

x = 122/3

x = 8 cups of sugar

So, 6 cups are not enough.
