Question

A recipe calls for $1_{/2}$ cup of butter and two eggs( among other ingredients) to make $16$ brownies. Assuming that you have enough of all of the other ingredients on hand, how many brownies can you make with sixteen eggs?

• A. $120$
• B. $240$
• C. $128$
• D. $296$
• E. $320$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $128$

Sixteen eggs means, we have $\frac{16}{2}=8$ times the eggs required to make brownies.
So, the number of brownies that can be made will also be $8$ times, which is $16\times 8=128$ brownies.
