A recipe calls for 2 cups of flour to make 2 dozen cookies. use the proportion to calculate how much flour is needed to make 6 dozen cookies. 2 cups/2 dozen = x cups/6 dozen

a.

If 2 dozens = 2cups

6 dozens = x

2cups/2 dozens=x cups/6 dozens

2c/2d=6d/x

multiply the first number on the left side of the equation to the last on the other side of the equation and the rest

2*x=2*6

2x=12

2x/2=12/2

x=6

Therefore 6 cups will be needed to make 6 dozens of cookies
