Jacobson · Answer 1

8 cups of brown sugar.

Because You do 3 cups of flour * 4 to get 12, so u do the same thing to the other one. 2 cups of brown sugar * 4 which equals 8.

Kylie Herring · Answer 2

12 cups of flour is 4 times the quantity in the recipe, so 4 times as much brown sugar is needed, 4*2=8 cups of brown sugar.
