flour (cups)	3	6	12

a. 7
b. 8
c. 10
d. 12

Explanation:

Step1: Set up proportion

Since the relationship is proportional, we have $\frac{3}{4}=\frac{6}{x}$.

Step2: Cross - multiply

Cross - multiplying gives us $3x = 6\times4$.

Step3: Solve for x

Simplify the right - hand side: $3x = 24$. Then divide both sides by 3: $x=\frac{24}{3}=8$.

B. 8
