Answer : 2 cups
2/3 cups of sugar can produce 1 batch of cookies
x cups of sugars can produce 3 batch of cookies
Firstly, establish a proportion between two statement
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{2}{3}\text{ cups -------- 1 cookies} \\ x\text{ cups --------- 3 cookies} \\ \text{Introduce cross multiplication} \\ 1\cdot\text{ x = }\frac{2}{3}\text{ x 3} \\ x\text{ = }\frac{2\text{ x 3}}{3} \\ x\text{ = }\frac{6}{3} \\ x\text{ = 2 cups} \end{gathered}[/tex]
Hence, 2 cups of sugar will produce 3 batches of cookies
