a cookie recipe uses 6 cups of brown sugar for every 9 cups of white sugar. How many cups of brown sugar is needed if I use 24 cups of white sugar

Step-by-step explanation:

You can create a ratio from the provided recipe,

for every 6 cups of brown sugar you need 9 cups of white sugar so it would be 6:9

?:24

24/9=2.6

6x2.6=15.6

so for 24 cups of white sugar you would need about 16 cups of brown sugar.

So, you'll need 16 cups of brown sugar if you use 24 cups of white sugar.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of cups of brown sugar to cups of white sugar is:

6:9.

24/x = 9/15

Cross Multiply:

24 * 15 = 360

9 * x = 9x

So, divide;

360/9x = 40

9x/9x = x

x = 40

SO, 24:40 = 9:15

40 (Total amount of sugar) - 24 (White sugar itself) = 16 cups of brown sugar.

So, you'll need 16 cups of brown sugar if you use 24 cups of white sugar.
