I made 12 dog treats using 1 cup of peanut butter. If I want to make 36 dog treats, how much peanut butter will I need? Write a ratio and comparison statement and solve.

Answer :

Answer:

You will need 3 cups peanut butter to  make 36 dogs treats.

Peanut butter Cup  :  The dog treats made =  1: 12

Step-by-step explanation:

12 dog treats  = 1 cup  

So, by UNITARY METHOD

1 dog treat = (1/12) cup

So, 36 dog treats = 36 x (1/12) cup = 3 cups

So, you will need 3 cups peanut butter to  make 36 dogs treats.

If 1 cup = 12 Dog Treats

then 1 x 3 cup = 12 x 3 dog treats

or, 3 Cups = 36 dog treats

The ratio of the Peanut butter cup  :  The dog treats made =  1: 12
