To find the number of cookies made when the baker bakes 2 batches, you need to determine the ratio between the number of batches and the number of cookies made.
If 3 batches make 42 cookies, then the ratio of batches to cookies is 3:42.
To find the number of cookies made when 2 batches are baked, you can set up a proportion using the ratio:
3/42 = 2/x
To solve for x (the number of cookies made with 2 batches), you can cross-multiply:
3x = 42 * 2
3x = 84
Divide both sides of the equation by 3:
x = 84/3
x = 28
Therefore, if the baker bakes 2 batches of cookies, 28 cookies will be made.
To find out how many cookies will be made if the baker bakes 2 batches, we can set up a proportion.
We know that the baker bakes 3 batches of cookies and makes 42 cookies. This means that for 1 batch of cookies, the baker makes 42/3 = 14 cookies.
Now, we need to find out how many cookies will be made if the baker bakes 2 batches.
We can set up the following proportion:
1 batch of cookies = 14 cookies
2 batches of cookies = x cookies
To solve for x, we can use the property of proportions that states the cross products are equal.
Cross multiplying, we get:
1 batch of cookies * x cookies = 2 batches of cookies * 14 cookies
Simplifying, we have:
x cookies = 28 cookies
Therefore, if the baker bakes 2 batches of cookies, they will make 28 cookies.
