I don't mind helping to find answers, but I resent having to provide the questions as well.

To find out how many cups of pecans Chef Leon uses per dozen cookies, you should divide the total cups of pecans used (712 cups) by the number of dozen cookies he is making (14 dozen).
First, convert the number of dozen cookies into a whole number. Since there are 12 cookies in a dozen, we can multiply 14 dozen by 12 to get the total number of cookies:
14 dozen cookies × 12 cookies/dozen = 168 cookies
Now, divide the total cups of pecans used by the total number of cookies to get the number of cups per cookie:
712 cups ÷ 168 cookies = 4.238 cups per cookie (rounded to three decimal places)
Therefore, Chef Leon uses approximately 4.238 cups of pecans per cookie.
