Arecipe calls for 2 1/2 cups of flour to make 24 cookies how many cups of flour would be required to bake 15 dozen cookies

15 dozen = 180 cookies

180 ÷ 24 = 7.5

7.5 x 2.5 = 18 3/4 cups of flour

let 'X' represent the cups of flour required to make 15 dozen cookies.

15: X=2 : (5/2) (since 2 1/2=5/2)

x=75/4

×=18 3/4 cups

18 3/4 cups are required to bake 15 dozen of cookies.

x= -3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify brackets

4 - x - 1 = 6

step 2: simpilfy

3 - x = 6

step 3: subtract 3 from both sides

-x = 6 - 3

step 4: simpilfy 6 - 3

-x = 3

step 5: multiply both sides by -1

x = -3
