Solution

The multiplicative factor can be found by dividing the desired amount by the original amount. In this case, you want to make 36 cookies but the recipe yields 24 cookies.

So, you divide 36 by 24 which equals 1.5.

Therefore, the multiplicative factor by which you should increase all the ingredients is 1.5.

So, the answer is (a) 1.5.
