Question

Eric uses 1 3/4 cups of granola for every 1/3 cup of chocolate chips when making a snack mix. Enter the number of

cups of granola Eric uses for 1 cup of chocolate chips

Answer 1

Explanation:

Set this up as a proportion with granola on the top and chocolate chips on the bottom:

`(g)/(cc):(1.75)/((1)/(3) )=(x)/(1)` and cross multiply to solve for x:

1/3x = 1.75 Multiply both sides by 3 to get

x = 5.25

This means for every 1 cup of chocolate chips, he needs 5 1/4 cups of granola.
