Answer:

1/2 scoops of strawberry ice cream is used for 1 scoop of vanilla ice cream

Explanation:

New milkshake recipe calls for 12 scoops of vanilla ice cream for every 6 scoops of strawberry ice cream. How many scoops of strawberry ice cream are used for each scoop of vanilla ice cream?

From the above question:

12 scoops of vanilla = 6 scoops of strawberry

1 scoop of vanilla = x scoops of strawberry

Cross Multiply

12 × x = 1 × 6

x = 6/12

x = 1/2 scoops.

Therefore, 1/2 scoops of strawberry ice cream is used for 1 scoop of vanilla ice cream
