b. 48 cookies
a. 1.2101724642 cups
b. number of cookies I will make=48
c. Butter
d.0.1198275358 cups
Work Step by Step
(1 dozen eggs is 12, 6 dozen is $6\times12$)
Ratio of butter to eggs to cookies made
=2:3:6$\times$12
= 2:3:72
a. As I have 1.33 cups of butter, using the ratio to find the number of eggs required:
number of eggs needed = $1.33\times \frac{3}{2}$
=1.995
As it is impossible to have .995 of an egg this is rounded up to the nearest whole number
Thus number of eggs required = 2
b. Using the above ratio, number of cookies I will make=
$1.33\times \frac{72}{2}=47.88$
As it is impossible to make .88 of a cookie this is rounded up to the nearest whole number
number of cookies I will make=48
a. As each egg weighs 34.21, Relative number of eggs = $62.1\div34.21=1.8152586963$
Using the ratio, quantity of butter required
$=1.8152586963\times\frac{2}{3}$
$=1.2101724642 $ cups
b. Using the above ratio, number of cookies I can make
= $1.2101724642 \times\frac{72}{3}$
=29.04413914
=29 (nearest whole number)
c. Butter.
Quantity of butter required as calculated in part a
(approx. 1.21) is lesser than the quantity of butter that I have (1.33), thus butter will be left over.
d. Subtract the amount of butter used from the amount of butter i have to find the remaining amount of butter:
1.33-1.2101724642=0.1198275358 cups
