6 cups of sugar

Step-by-step explanation:

If you need 12 cups of sugar for every 16 cups of cranberries, for 4 cups of cranberries you'll need 6 cups of sugar.

Here's the working:

12 cups of sugar = 16 cups of cranberries

4 cups of cranberries is 1/2 the amount of 16 cups of cranberries so we have to divide by 1/2

12 cups of sugar ÷ 2 = 6 cups of sugar

3 cups of sugar

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that you need 12 cups of sugar for every 16 cups of cranberries.

If you have 4 cups of cranberries.

we first need to find the ratio:

16/4 = 4

So 4 cups of cranberries is a fourth of 16 cups, so if we use a fourth of the 16 cups, we also need to use a fourth of the 12 cups of sugar, then we need:

12/4 = 3 cups of sugar
