Question: 1 / 400

A recipe requires 3 eggs to make 12 cookies. How many eggs are needed for 36 cookies?

6 eggs

9 eggs

To determine the number of eggs needed for 36 cookies based on the recipe, we begin by identifying the ratio provided in the problem. The recipe states that 3 eggs are used to make 12 cookies. This can be simplified to find the number of eggs per cookie:

- The number of eggs per cookie is: \( \frac{3 \text{ eggs}}{12 \text{ cookies}} = \frac{1 \text{ egg}}{4 \text{ cookies}} \).

This means that each cookie requires one-fourth of an egg. To find out how many eggs are needed for 36 cookies, we multiply the number of cookies by the number of eggs needed per cookie:

- The calculation for eggs is: \( 36 \text{ cookies} \times \frac{1 \text{ egg}}{4 \text{ cookies}} = 9 \text{ eggs} \).

Thus, to produce 36 cookies, a total of 9 eggs is required. This aligns with the correct answer, confirming the calculation and ensuring the process is straightforward for scaling the recipe proportionally.
