A bakery uses 3/4 cups of oats to make a 2 4/7 pounds of oatmeal cookies. how many cups of oats are required per pound of cookies

We can use ratios to find the answer to this.

Set up the ratio.

3/4 / 18/7 = x / 1

Multiply both sides by 1

3/4 / 18/7 = x

Inverse 18/7 to 7/18 so we can multiply.

3/4 * 7/18 = x

Multiply.

21/72 = x

Simplify7/24 = x

Therefore, 7/24 cups of oats is used per pound.
