Question

Jim is baking cookies. He only wants to make 2/3 of a batch of cookies. The recipe calls for 7/8 of a cup of milk. How much of a cup of milk should he use? *

Answer 1

7/8 of a cup of milk divided by 2/3 of a batch. No

Answer 2

1 5/16 cups

Explanation:

If the recipe calls for 7/8 cup of milk for 1 batch of cookies, then we divide 2/3 by 7/8. 7/8 * 3/2 = 21/16 = 1 5/16 cups.
