My question is: One batch of cookies requires 4 cups of flour and 1.5 cups of sugar. How many cups of flour and sugar combined would be needed for 8 batches? Your thoughts:
Flour + sugar = 4 + 1.5 = 5.5 cups. 8 batches = 5.5 * 8 = 44 cups. There would be 44 cups of flour and sugar combined for 8 batches of cookies. The final answer: 44.
