Kara baked 40 cookies and her daughter ate 2 cookies. Kara used ¼ cup of powdered sugar to bake each cookie but then Kara realized that she grabbed rat poison instead of powdered sugar. She immediately ran to her daughter's room and found her daughter unconscious on the floor . 5 minutes later her daughter died of multi organ failure. How many cups of powdered sugar did kara use?

To determine how many cups of powdered sugar Kara used, we can simply focus on the number of cookies baked and how much powdered sugar was used for each.

- Kara baked **40 cookies**.
- She used **¼ cup of powdered sugar per cookie**.

Now, we calculate the total amount of powdered sugar used:

\[
\text{Total powdered sugar} = 40 \times \frac{1}{4} = 10 \, \text{cups}
\]

Therefore, Kara used **10 cups** of powdered sugar in total.
