Question

A cookie recipe calls for the following ingredients:

• 1.5 cups of sugar

• 1 cup of butter

• 2.75 cups of flour

The recipe produces 48 cookies with this amount of ingredients. Write a program

that asks the user how many cookies they want to make and then displays the number

of cups of each ingredient needed for the specified number of cookies in the following format:

You need 5 cups of sugar, 3 cups of butter, and 7 cups of flour.

Answer 1

Hey Ricardo,

The code for this problem should look something like this. Please let me know if the output is what is required by the question.

To call this function you can type: calculate_ingredients(number_of_cookies)

def calculate_ingredients(cookies):

sugar = round((1.5/48)*cookies,2)

butter = round((1/48)*cookies,2)

flour = round((2.75/48)*cookies,2)

print(f"You need {sugar} cups of sugar, {butter} cups of butter, and {flour} cups of flour")
