If 2 cups of flour is used and the recipe makes 16 cookies, how much sugar is there in 6 cookies?A. 1 cupB. 1/6 cupC. 1/4 cupD. 1/2 cupCorrect answer: DThis is a conversion problem in disguise. First determine the amount of sugar in a single cookie:(2/3 cups sugar/1 cup flour)(2 cups flour/1 batch)(1 batch/16 cookies)= 1/12 cups sugar per cookieNow multiply this by 6 cookies:= 1/2 cups sugar per 6 cookies.Practice more: https://www.mcat-prep.com/mcat-practice-tests/
