Question

Grandma's recipe calls for 2 cups of milk to make 3 batches of cookies. How many batches can she make with only a half cup of milk.

Answer 1

Grandma can make 0.75 batches of cookies with only a half cup of milk.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we can set up a proportion.

`(2)/(3)` =
`(0.5)/(x)`

We can use cross products to solve.

3(0.5)=1.5

2(x)=1.5

x=0.75

Therefore, Grandma can make 0.75 batches of cookies with only a half cup of milk.

Hope this helps!
