Question: 1 / 400

If a recipe for making 18 cookies uses 3/4 cup of sugar, how much sugar is needed for 24 cookies?

2/3 cup

1 cup

To determine how much sugar is needed to make 24 cookies, we first need to find out the amount of sugar used for each cookie based on the original recipe.

The original recipe for 18 cookies uses 3/4 cup of sugar. We can calculate the amount of sugar per cookie:

\[

\text{Sugar per cookie} = \frac{3/4 \text{ cup}}{18 \text{ cookies}} = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{1}{18} = \frac{3}{72} = \frac{1}{24} \text{ cup per cookie}

\]

Next, to find the amount needed for 24 cookies, we multiply the amount of sugar per cookie by the number of cookies:

\[

\text{Total sugar for 24 cookies} = \left(\frac{1}{24} \text{ cup per cookie}\right) \times 24 \text{ cookies} = 1 \text{ cup}

\]

Thus, the correct amount of sugar required for 24 cookies is indeed 1 cup. This calculation shows how to scale the ingredients based on the number of cookies you want to make, demonstrating a proportional relationship between the ingredients and
