Hi there! So, you need 1 2/3 cups of flour to make 4 dozens of oatmeal raisin cookies. To find the unit rate of the amount of flour needed per dozen, let’s divide. 5/3 / 4. To divide fractions, keep the first fraction the same, change division into multiplication, and flip the second fraction over. Then, this would be 5/3 * 1/4. Now, multiply straight across. 5/3 * 1/4 is 5/12. 5/12 cup of flour is needed per dozen. To find the amount for 6 dozens, let’s multiply by 6. Multiply the amount needed per dozen by the number of dozens, in this case, 6. 5/12 * 6/1 is 30/12 or 2 1/2 in simplest form. 2 1/2 cups of flour are needed to make 6 dozen cookies.

[tex]2 \dfrac{1}{2}[/tex] cups of flour are needed to make 6 dozen cookies.

What is ratios and proportions?

A ratio is an ordered pair of numbers a and b, written a / b where b does not equal 0. A proportion is an equation in which two ratios are set equal to each other.

you need [tex]1 \dfrac{2}{3}[/tex] cups of flour to make 4 dozens of oatmeal raisin cookies.

To find the unit rate of the amount of flour needed per dozen, let’s divide  [tex]\dfrac{5}{3}[/tex] by 4.

 

To divide fractions, keep the first fraction the same, change division into multiplication, and flip the second fraction over.

Then, this would be

[tex]\dfrac{5}{3}\times \dfrac { 1}{4}=\dfrac{5}{12}[/tex].

So  [tex]\dfrac{5}{12}[/tex] cup of flour is needed per dozen.

To find the amount for 6 dozens, let’s multiply by 6.

Multiply the amount needed per dozen by the number of dozens, in this case,

is 30/12 or 2 1/2 in simplest form.

.[tex]6.\times \dfrac{5}{12} \times \dfrac{6}{1} = \dfrac{5}{2}=2\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

2 1/2 cups of flour are needed to make 6 dozen cookies.
