Answer 2

For this case we have the following data:

24 cookies require 1 1/2 cups of sugar. To know the amount of sugar that is required to make 36 cookies, we make a rule of three:

24 -----------> 1 1/2

36 -----------> x

Where x represents the amount of sugar required to make 36 cookies.

Thus,   cups of sugar are required to make 36 cookies.
