You used 5 cups of flour to bake 80 cookies.How may cups do you need if you are planning to bake 144 cookies

Verified Answer :

Data:
5 → 80
y → 144

Solving: (They are proportional measures, the rule of three is made (directly proportional)

\(\frac{5}{y} = \frac{80}{144}\)
multiply cross
\(80*y = 5*144\)
\(80y = 720\)
\(y = \frac{720}{80}\)
\(\boxed{\boxed{y = 9\:cups}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark\)
