8/16=1.5/X CROSS MULTIPLY
8X-1.5*16
8X=24
X=3 CUPS OF SUGAR ARE REQUIRED.
--------------------------------------
(2/3)/1=16/X
2X/3=16
2X=3*16
2X=48
X=48/2
X=24 COOKIES CAN BE MADE WITH I CUP OF BUTTER.

1 1/2 cups of sugar for 16 cookies
--------------
1. How much sugar is needed to make 8 brownies?
(1/2)(3/2) = 3/4 cup of sugar for 8 cookies
-----------------------
2. What is the greatest # of brownies that can be made if baker only has 1 cup of butter
x/1 = 16/(3/2)
x = 32/3 = 10 1/3 cookies from 1 lb of butter.
