A recipe calls for 5 ounces of unsweetened chocolate for 14 brownies. How much of unsweetened

chocolate is needed to make 30 brownies?
150 oz
7/5 oz
75/7 oz
5/14 oz

Answer 1

Answer is 75/7 Oz

Step by step

First we find the rate of of ounces per brownie 5:14 by dividing 5 divided by 14.

= .357

Multiply by new quantity of 30 brownies

30 x .357 = 10.71

We don’t see that answer in the choices so let’s put 10.7 into fraction form

75/7 is ≈ 10.7

So 75/7 is your answer
