Lindsay's cookie recipe recipe calls for 4.5 cups of flour and makes 6 dozen cookies. Lindsay has 3 cups of flour, so she will be able to make
A dozen cookies. If she wants to make 1 dozen cookies, she needs
B cups of flour.
To determine the amount of flour needed to make 12 dozen cookies, you first need to find the ratio of flour to cookies in the original recipe.
The original recipe makes 3 1/2 dozen cookies, which is equal to 3.5 x 12 = 42 cookies.
According to the original recipe, 1 1/4 cups of flour is needed for 42 cookies.
To find the amount of flour needed for 12 dozen cookies, you can set up a proportion:
(Number of cookies / Amount of flour) = (Number of cookies / Amount of flour)
Using the original ratio, we have:
(42 cookies / 1 1/4 cups flour) = (12 dozen cookies / x cups flour)
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
(42 * x) = (1 1/4 * 12 * 42)
42x = 1.25 * 12 * 42
42x = 630
Now, divide both sides by 42 to solve for x:
x = 630 / 42
x = 15
Therefore, you would need 15 cups of flour to make 12 dozen cookies.
