Victor baked 12 cookies with 2 scoops of flour. With 6 scoops of flour, how many cookies can Victor bake? Solve using unit rates.
If Victor bakes 12 cookies with 2 scoops of flour, his unit rate is 12 cookies per 2 scoops of flour.
To find out how many cookies he can bake with 6 scoops of flour, we need to calculate the unit rate for this case as well.
Let's set up a proportion using the unit rate: 12 cookies / 2 scoops of flour = x cookies / 6 scoops of flour.
To solve for x, we can cross multiply: 12 * 6 = 2 * x.
This simplifies to: 72 = 2x.
Dividing both sides by 2, we get: x = 72 / 2 = 36.
Therefore, Victor can bake 36 cookies with 6 scoops of flour.
