Answer: 6
Step-by-step explanation:
You have been told to make 144 two ounce chocolate chip cookies so the total weight of those cookies is:
= 144 * 2
= 288 ounces
A pound is equivalent to 16 ounces.
The recipe yields 3 pounds of cookies which is:
= 3 * 16
= 48 ounces
For the recipe to make 288 ounces, you need to scale up by:
= 288 / 48
= 6
