Two cups of flour are needed to make a dozen cookies. Carla is making 36 cookies today and 30 cookies tomorrow. How many cups of flour will Carla need to bake the cookies today and tomorrow?
Answer: 11 cups of flour
Step-by-step solution
Step 1: Calculate total number of cookies
First, we need to find the total number of cookies Carla plans to bake over the two days. We add the cookies for today and tomorrow to get the grand total.
Step 2: Convert dozens to individual cookies
The problem states that two cups of flour are needed for a dozen cookies. We know that one dozen is equal to 12 individual cookies.
Step 3: Determine flour needed per cookie
To find out how much flour is needed for each cookie, we divide the total flour for a dozen by the number of cookies in a dozen. This gives us the flour required for one cookie.
Step 4: Calculate total flour needed
Finally, we multiply the total number of cookies Carla is making by the amount of flour required for a single cookie. This will give us the total amount of flour Carla needs.
