Question

Do you make a large batch of hot chocolate the way she likes it when she is done mixing she has a total of 32 ounces of hot chocolate how many ounces of cocoa does she use

Answer 1

She uses 9 ounces of cocoa to make the hot chocolate.

If the ratio of cocoa to the total mixture is 1:8, and the total mixture is 32 ounces, you can find the amount of cocoa by dividing the total mixture by the sum of the parts in the ratio (1 + 8).

Let
`\( x \)` represent the number of parts of cocoa.

The ratio of cocoa to the total mixture is 1:8, which means
`\( x:8x \)`.

The total number of parts is 1 + 8 = 9.

Now, set up an equation:

`\[ (x)/(9) \cdot 32 = \text{amount of cocoa} \]`

Solve for x:

`\[ x = (9)/(32) \cdot \text{amount of cocoa} \]`

Now, substitute the given values:

`\[ x = (9)/(32) \cdot 32 \]`

Simplify:

x = 9

So, she uses 9 ounces of cocoa to make the hot chocolate.
