Jaden baked 18 cookies with 3 scoops of flour. With 7 scoops of flour, how many cookies can Jaden bake? Solve using unit rates.



 cookies

To solve this problem using unit rates, we'll first determine the number of cookies Jaden can bake per scoop of flour, and then use that rate to find out how many cookies Jaden can bake with 7 scoops of flour.

### Step 1: Calculate the unit rate (cookies per scoop of flour)
Jaden baked 18 cookies with 3 scoops of flour.

The unit rate is:
\[
\text{Cookies per scoop of flour} = \frac{\text{Total cookies}}{\text{Total scoops of flour}} = \frac{18 \text{ cookies}}{3 \text{ scoops of flour}} = 6 \text{ cookies per scoop of flour}
\]

### Step 2: Determine the number of cookies that can be baked with 7 scoops of flour
Now that we know Jaden can bake 6 cookies per scoop of flour, we can find out how many cookies he can bake with 7 scoops:

\[
\text{Total cookies} = \text{Cookies per scoop} \times \text{Number of scoops} = 6 \text{ cookies per scoop} \times 7 \text{ scoops} = 42 \text{ cookies}
\]

So, with 7 scoops of flour, Jaden can bake **42 cookies**.
