Brittany wants to make cookies for the whole fourth grade. One batch of dough makes 2 dozen cookies. There are 68 fourth grader at her school.Is it reasonable to say that Brittany will nee more than two batches of dough?
Yes, because two batches of dough equals 48 cookies. So she would need 3 batches, equaling to 72 cookies.
Answer:
it is reasonable to say that Brittany will need more than two batches of dough
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
one batch of dough makes 2 dozen of cookies
also,
1 dozen = 12 in numbers
thus,
2 dozen = 2 × 12 = 24 cookies
total number of students = 68
Now,
The total batch of dough required = \(\frac{\textup{Total cookies required}}{\textup{Cookies made per batch of dough}}\)
= \(\frac{\textup{68}}{\textup{24}}\)
= 2.83
Hence,
the number of dough required i.e 2.83 > 2
therefore,
it is reasonable to say that Brittany will need more than two batches of dough
