Flour

Kim needs 3/4 cup of flour to make 12 cookies. How much flour would she need to make 60 cookies?

Correct answer:

x =  3.75

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} m_{12}={\displaystyle \frac{3}{4}}=0.75 \\ k={\displaystyle \frac{60}{12}}=5 \\ x=k\cdot m_{12}=5\cdot 0.75={\displaystyle \frac{15}{4}}=3\frac{3}{4}=3.75 \end{gathered}$$

This is wrong solution. The answer should be: x = 60/12 * 3/4 = 3.75
