1 1/4 =1.25

so 1.25 / 20 = 0.0625 each cookie needs this much sugar.
0.0625 x 16 = 1
16 cookies you will need 1 cup of sugar
First turn the fraction into an improper fraction 1 1/4 = 5/4
Set up a proportion:
[tex] \frac{\frac{5}{4}\ cups}{20\ cookies} = \frac{x\ cups}{16\ cookies}[/tex]
Cross multiply you get
(5/4)*16 = 20x
20 = 20x
x = 1
So 1 cup of sugar
