WRONG
see your previous post, complete with the same stupid typo.
Learn how to type fractions, would you?
To solve this problem, we can set up a proportion. We know that Sam uses 23/48 cups of sugar per serving to make 48 cookies. We want to find out how many cups of sugar he needs to make 288 cookies.
Let's set up the proportion:
(23/48) cups of sugar = x cups of sugar
48 cookies = 288 cookies
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
48 * x = 23 * 288
Simplifying,
48x = 6624
Dividing both sides by 48,
x = 6624/48
x = 138
Therefore, Sam needs 138 cups of sugar to make 288 cookies.
So, the correct answer is not given in the options provided (A, B, C, D, E).
