Maritza is baking cookies to bring to school and share with her friends her birthday. The recipe requires 3 eggs for every 2 cups of sugar. To have enough cookies for all of her friends, Maritza determined she would ned 12 eggs. If her mom bought 6 cups of sugar, does Maritza have enough sugar to make the cookies? why or why not?
8 cups of sugar is needed.
Set up a proportion.
3/2 = 12/x
Cross multiply and solve for x.
3x = 24
x = 8 cups of sugar is needed.
It is 8 more needed my mans
Thank you but you need to have more examples

To determine if Maritza has enough sugar to make the cookies, we need to compare the amount of sugar required in the recipe with the amount of sugar her mom bought.
According to the recipe, 3 eggs are required for every 2 cups of sugar. Since Maritza needs 12 eggs, we can calculate the amount of sugar required as follows:
12 eggs * (2 cups of sugar / 3 eggs) = 8 cups of sugar
So, according to the recipe, Maritza would need 8 cups of sugar to make the cookies.
However, her mom only bought 6 cups of sugar. Since 6 cups of sugar is less than the required 8 cups, Maritza does not have enough sugar to make the cookies.
Therefore, Maritza does not have enough sugar to make the cookies.
