A cookie recipe calls for 5/6 of a cup of flour and makes 2 dozen cookies if cassandiria plans to make 14 dozen cookies how many cups of flours does she need ?

Answer 1

Hi Mikey,

The recipe is for 2 dozen cookies. Since Cassandiria is making 14 dozen cookies , she will need to multiply the numbers in the recipe by 7 because 7 x 2 = 14.

For the 5/6 cup flour portion, she will multiply 5/6 by 7:

5/6 x 7 = 35/6 cups of flour

This is equivalent to 5 and 5/6 cups of flour for 14 dozen cookies
