Answer: 7 1/2

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that a large bag of chocolate chips contains 11 1/4 cups and that a cookie recipe needs 1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips.

The number of times that the cookie recipe can be made will be:

= 11 1/4 ÷ 1 1/2

= 45/4 ÷ 3/2

= 45/4 × 2/3

= 7 1/2

The recipe can be made 7 1/2 times
