proportion problem
Six cups of flour are required to make a batch of cookies. How many cups of flour are needed to make enough cookies to fill 12 cookie jars, if each cookie jar holds 1.5 batches?

Re: proportion problem
To fill the jars, you need 12*1.5 = 18 batches.
Since each batch needs 6 cups of flour, you need 18*6 = 108 cups in all.
Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.
