mrs scott baked 4 1/2 dozen ginger cookies and 2/3 of sugar how many in all?
2/3 (12) = 8
4.5 * 12 = 54
54 + 8 = 62
To find the total number of ginger cookies Mrs. Scott baked, we need to add the number of cookies in 4 1/2 dozen and 2/3 of sugar.
First, let's determine the number of cookies in 4 1/2 dozen.
A dozen is equal to 12. So, if Mrs. Scott baked 4 1/2 dozen cookies, we can calculate it as follows:
4 1/2 x 12 = 54 cookies
Next, let's find 2/3 of the number of sugar.
Let's assume that the number of sugar is "x". To find 2/3 of x, we need to multiply it by 2/3:
(x) x (2/3) = (2x)/3
Now, to find the total number of cookies, we need to add the number of ginger cookies and 2/3 of sugar:
Total number of cookies = Number of ginger cookies + 2/3 of sugar
= 54 + (2x)/3
Please provide the value of "x" (the number of sugar) to calculate the final result.
