Question

Mary has a \large 16\frac{1}{2} ounce bag of chocolate chips. She will only use \large \frac{1}{4} of the bag for decorating a cake. How many ounces will she use for decorating

Answer 1

4 1/8 ounces

Explanation:

Total bag of chocolate chips Mary has = 16 1/2 ounces

She will only use 1/4 of the bag for decorating a cake.

How many ounces will she use for decorating

Ounces used in decoration = 1/4 of 16 1/2

= 1/4 × 33/2

= (1*33)/(4*2)

= 33/8

= 4 1/8 ounces of chocolate chips

She will use 4 1/8 ounces of chocolate chips for decorating a cake
