so is it a b c or d
The correct proportion and solution to find out how much flour is needed to make 54 cookies is:

x = 4.5 cups
Therefore, the answer is:
b) start fraction 2 over 54 end fraction equals start fraction x over 24 end fraction semi colon x equals start fraction 8 over 9 end fraction cups
