Question

LLoyd used 1/4 of chocolate to make 2/3 gallons of chocolate pudding. If Lloyd's recipe is for 1 gallon of pudding, how many pounds of chocolate will he need to make 1/3 the recipe?

Answer 1

1/8

Explanation:

Llyod used 1/4 chocolates to make 2/3 gallons of chocolate pudding

= 1/4 ÷ 2/3

= 1/4 × 3/2

= 3/8

Therefore the number of pounds needed to make 1/3 of the recipe can be calculated as follows.

= 3/8 × 1/3

= 3/24

= 1/8
