Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot]

Sam would need to use 6.75 cups of sugar to make 288 cookies.

Answer 2

WRONG!!!!

(2/3) cups/48 cookies = x cups/288 cookies
x = 288(2/3) / 48
x = 4 cups

Answer 3

AAAaannndd the bot gets it wrong yet again!

288/48 * 23 = 138
But I suspect it should be
288/48 * 2/3 = 4

To solve this problem, we need to find out the amount of sugar Sam uses per serving, and then use that information to calculate the amount of sugar needed to make 288 cookies.

First, let's calculate the amount of sugar Sam uses per cookie:
Sam uses 23/48 cup of sugar per serving.
So, to find out how much sugar he uses per cookie, we divide the amount of sugar per serving by the number of cookies per serving:
(23/48) ÷ 48 = 23/(48 x 48) = 23/2304 ≈ 0.009994 cup of sugar per cookie.

Now, let's calculate the amount of sugar needed to make 288 cookies:
To find this, we need to multiply the amount of sugar used per cookie by the total number of cookies:
0.009994 x 288 ≈ 2.879 cup of sugar.

Therefore, Sam needs approximately 2.879 cups of sugar to make 288 cookies.
