the label on a 1 1/2 pound bag of flour states that it will make 225 cookies. based on this information, how many cookies will 1 pound of flour make?

Respuesta :

1 pound of flour should make 150 cookies.

[tex] 1\dfrac{1}{2} \text { pound} = 225 \text { cookies} [/tex]

To find 1 pound :

[tex] = 225 \div 1\dfrac{1}{2} [/tex]

[tex] = 225 \div \dfrac{3}{2} [/tex]

[tex] = 225 \times \dfrac{2}{3} [/tex]

[tex]= 150 \text { cookies}[/tex]
