Sofia was following a recipe to cook for her friends. She only used ⅔ of the chicken in the recipe because it was a small gathering. If she ended up using 2.5 pounds of chicken, how many pounds of chicken are called for in the actual recipe?

Answer:

3.75

Explanation:

Divide 2.5 by 2 to find out what 1/3 would be, then multiply that by 3 to get your answer - 3.75 pounds of chicken are called for

Hopefully this helps- let me know if you have any questions
