A cookie recipe calls for 2 cups of flour for every 1.5 cups of sugar. If a baker makes a 12- cup batch of cookies using the same proportions of the recipe, which statement is true? 1. 8 cups of flour and 4 cups of sugar

2. 6 cups of flour and 10 cups of flour

3. 10 cups of flour and 6 cups of sugar

4. 12 cups of flour and 9 cups of sugar

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.
