a cookie recipe calls for 2 1/4 cups of flour.the yield of the recipe is two dozen cookies.how much flour goes into each cookie?

2.25/24 = ?

To determine how much flour goes into each cookie, you need to divide the total amount of flour (2 1/4 cups) by the yield of the recipe (two dozen cookies).

1 dozen is equal to 12, so two dozen would be equal to 12 x 2 = 24 cookies.

Now, divide the total amount of flour by the number of cookies:
2 1/4 cups ÷ 24 cookies = 9/4 cups ÷ 24 cookies

To simplify this, convert 9/4 cups to a decimal:
9/4 = 2.25 cups

Now, divide 2.25 cups by 24 cookies:
2.25 cups ÷ 24 cookies ≈ 0.094 cups

Therefore, approximately 0.094 cups of flour goes into each cookie.

To find out how much flour goes into each cookie, you need to divide the total amount of flour by the number of cookies.

In this case, the recipe calls for 2 1/4 cups of flour and yields two dozen cookies.

To convert the recipe into a fraction, we can write 2 1/4 as 9/4 cups.

Next, we need to convert the number of cookies into a fraction. A dozen is equal to 12, so two dozen cookies is equal to 2 x 12, which is 24 cookies.

Now, we can divide the total amount of flour (9/4 cups) by the number of cookies (24 cookies).

To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

So, (9/4 cups) ÷ (24 cookies) can be written as (9/4 cups) x (1/24 cookies).

Simplifying this equation, we get (9/4) x (1/24) = 9/96 cups.

To further simplify the fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3.

So, (9/4) ÷ (3/3) x (1/24) ÷ (3/3) = 3/32 cups.

Therefore, each cookie in this recipe requires 3/32 cups of flour.
