Explanation

Set up a cross-multiplying diagram and complete it with the information provided:

 Cups of Sugar $$\frac{3}{2}$$ x Cookies 24 30

Solve for x:

(3/2)(30) = (24)(x) → 45 = 24x → 1.875 = x

Compare the quantities:

Quantity A: 1.875 cups
Quantity B: 2 cups

Hence Option B is greater.

Compare the quantities:

Quantity A: 1.875 cups
Quantity B: 2 cups

Hence Option B is correct.

Thus, column B should be 2 instead of 12, right?
