Answer 1

Question:

Consider a cookie recipe in which 1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips are needed to make 25 cookies. Lara wants to double the number of cookies. How many cups of chocolate chips should she use?

Answer:

`Cups = 3`

Explanation:

Given

`Cups = 1(1)/(2)`

`Cookies = 25`

Required

Number of cups when the cookies is doubled

When
`Cookies = 25`,
`Cups = 1(1)/(2)`

So, when the number of cookies is doubled, the number of cups will also be doubled.

i.e.

`Cookies = 25*2`

`Cookies = 50`

and

`Cups = 1(1)/(2) * 2`

Convert to improper fraction

`Cups = (3)/(2) * 2`

`Cups = (3* 2)/(2)`

`Cups = (6)/(2)`

`Cups = 3`

i.e. 3 cups are needed
