To bake
How many grams of sugar would he need to bake
cookies? What about cookies? Show all work. You can use a proportion to solve this problem. Once you find the amount of sugar necessary for
cookies, simply multiply by to find the amount necessary for cookies. What is the unit rate? That is, how many grams of sugar are needed for
cookie? Notice that it takes
grams of sugar to create cookies. Divide by to get the unit rate. Unit rate:
grams of sugar per cookie To help him know how much sugar to use when baking cookies, Mr. Wallis started to make a table, as shown below. Copy and complete his table on your paper.
Proportions, again, will be very useful. A sample proportion is provided below.
