Question 17671
Would you like an equation, or shall we do it the easy way?


The easy way is to notice that 4 dozen cookies require 2 cups, so 36 cookies would be 3 dozen.  That's 3/4 as many cookies, which will require 3/4 as many chocolate chips.


So, just take 3/4 of 2 cups, which would be {{{(3/4)*(2/1) = 3/2}}} or a cup and a half of chocolate chips.
