Question

zachary has 3/4 cup of chocolate chips which can make 1/2 of a cookie recipe. how many cups of chocolate chips are needed to make one whole cooke recipe. send the answer and process of how u got it pls!!

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is 1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips.

Explanation:

If 3/4 is half and you need whole you simply need to multiply by 2.

Think of it as somone dividing a plank of wood in half. To get the whole plank of wood you must add the other half. Fractions are just division and you reverse division with multiplication just like how you reverse subtraction with addition.

First multiply 3/4 by 2:

3/4(2)=6/4

Next simplify:

6/4=3/2=1 1/2

And there's your answer! 1 1/2!

Hope this helped:)
