You need 3 sticks of butter for every 24 cookies you bake. how many sticks of butter for 5 cookies

you will need 5/8 sticks  of butter for 5 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

You need 3 sticks of butter for every 24 cookies you bake. How many sticks of butter for 5 cookies

To solve this, you simply need to use proportion;

3 sticks = 24 cookies

 x          = 5 cookies

cross multiply

24 × x  = 3 × 5

24x = 15

Divide both-side of the equation  by 24 in order to get the value of x.

24x/24  = 15/24

( on the left-hand side of the equation, 24  at the numerator will cancel-out the 24 at the denominator  and we will be left with just x, while on the right- hand-side of the equation, 15 will be divided by 24)

x = 15/24

(3 can divide both 15 and 24, so we will reduce 15 and 24 to its lowest term by dividing the two numbers by three).

x =  5/8

Therefore, 5/8 stick of butter is needed for 5 cookies
