Question

A chicken and rice recipe is shown below. Mrs. Hughes would like to make only two-thirds of the recipe. How many cups of each ingredient does Mrs. Hughes needs

chiken and rice
2 2/3 cups of chicken broth
1 1/2 cups of chicken
3/4 cup of rice

Answer 1

To make two-thirds of the recipe, we need to multiply each ingredient by 2/3.

2 2/3 cups of chicken broth * 2/3 = 1 3/4 cups of chicken broth
1 1/2 cups of chicken * 2/3 = 1 cup of chicken
3/4 cup of rice * 2/3 = 1/2 cup of rice

So Mrs. Hughes needs 1 3/4 cups of chicken broth, 1 cup of chicken, and 1/2 cup of rice to make two-thirds of the chicken and rice recipe.
