Question

My recipe makes 96 cookies but I’ll only 24 for the party what will I multiply each ingredient amount by to make just 24 cookies

Answer 1

1/4

Explanation:

because the original recipe makes 96 cookies and you want to make 24 so, we can make an equation and solve for x

96*x=24

x=24/96

x=1/4

so you will only need 1/4 of the ingredients to make 24 cookies

Answer 2

4 or 0.25

Explanation:

1. Divide 96 by 24:

4

So there are 4 24’s in 96, meaning you can divide the recipe by 4 or multiply it by 1/4

(Example):

4 eggs

2 cups flour

8 cps chocolate chips

Multiply all by 1/4:

4 x 1/4 = 1 cup

2 x 1/4 = 1/2 cup

8 x 1/4 = 2 cup
