A recipe for chocolate chip cookies requires 6 cups of flour. This recipe serves 24 people, and you would like to make enough for 36 people. How many cups of flour do you need? Anyone know the steps to solve it?

9 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

You divide 24 by 6 and get 4 then divide 36 by 4 and get 9.

9 cups.

Step-by-step explanation:

i didnt solve the question how a teacher would want you to solve it but who cares this is how i solved it:

so you need to find how many more people you would be servering so 36-24 which equals 12. so your serving 12 more people than in the original recipe. 12 happens to be half of 24 which is the amount of people the recipe servers, so that means you need to add half of what you need in the normal recipe so half of 6, which is 3. so then you 6+3 which equals 9.
