how do we solve Mary wants to make cookies.she needs 3/4 of a cup of flour per batch of cookies,if Mary has 6 cups of flour,then how many batch of cookies can she make?
Simple ratio:
(3/4) / 1 batch = 6/ x batches
(3/4) = 6/x
cross-multiply
3x = 24
x = 8
or
3/4 of a cup of flour per batch of cookies ---> 3 cups for 4 batches, so
6 cups will yield 8 batches

A recipe requires 2 cups of milk for every 3 cups of flour if you use 8 cups of milk how many cps of flour do you nered
To solve this problem, we can use division to find out how many batches of cookies Mary can make with the given amount of flour.
Since Mary needs 3/4 of a cup of flour per batch, we divide the total amount of flour Mary has (6 cups) by the amount needed per batch (3/4 cup) to find the number of batches:
6 cups / (3/4 cup) = 6 cups * (4/3 cup) = (24/3) cups = 8 cups
So, Mary can make 8 batches of cookies with 6 cups of flour.
