Question

A recipe from Sally’s "Chocoholic’s Cookbook" requires 70\frac{1}{6} grams of chocolate for each chocolate fudge cake. How many grams of chocolate would she need if she made one chocolate cake for each of her 12 closest friends?

Answer 1

842 grams

Explanation:

`70(1)/(6) =(421)/(6)`

`(421)/(6) *12\\\\842`

One cake consists of 421/6 grams of chocolate.

Since Sally wants to give 1 cake to 12 friends, we multiply 421/6 and 12.

To make 12 cakes, she needs 842 grams of chocolate.
