Question 1165744: Leah is baking cookies to bring to school and share with her friends on her birthday. The recipe requires 3 eggs for every 2 cups of sugar. To have enough cookies for all of her friends, Leah determined she would need 12 eggs. If her mom bought 6 cups of sugar, does Leah have enough sugar to make the cookies? Why or why not?

The ingredients need to be kept in the same ratio.

12 eggs is 4 times as much as 3 eggs.

Is 4 times as much as 2 cups of sugar more or less than the 6 cups of sugar she has?
