Question

Ms. Horner is baking her famous chocolate chip cookies again. her secret recipe needs to have 5/9 of a cup of chocolate chips for one batch. how many chocolate chips will she need if she only wanted to make 2/3 of a batch?

Answer 1

According to the information given the recipe for 1 batch calls for 5/9 of a cup of chocolate chips, this can be written as a relation between the amount of batch that is going to be made, and the amount of chocolate chips required.

`1batch\Rightarrow(5)/(9)\text{chocolatechi}ps`

according to this

`(2)/(3)\text{batch}\Rightarrow x`

find the value of x

`x=(2)/(3)\cdot(5)/(9)`
`x=(10)/(27)`

according to this the amount of chocolate chips needed is 10/27 of a cup.
