Ares baked 30 cookies with 2 scoops of flour. How many scoops of flour does Ares need in order to bake 135 cookies? Assume the relationship is directly proportional.
Use a proportion. Cross multiply and solve.
Ares needs 9 scoops in order to bake 135 cookies.
30/2 = 135/x
135*2 = 270
270/30 = 9
Is it correct
Yes, you're right.
To find out how many scoops of flour Ares needs to bake 135 cookies, we can set up a proportion.
Since the relationship between the number of cookies and the scoops of flour is directly proportional, we can write the proportion as follows:
30 cookies / 2 scoops of flour = 135 cookies / x scoops of flour
To solve for x (the number of scoops of flour needed), we can cross-multiply:
30 * x = 2 * 135
Now, let's solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 30:
x = (2 * 135) / 30
x = 270 / 30
x = 9
Therefore, Ares would need 9 scoops of flour in order to bake 135 cookies.
