Question

To make chocolate ice cream, you need about 3/8 pound of chocolate. How many pounds of chocolate will you need to make 4 batches of ice cream?

Answer 1

1.5 pounds of chocolate

Explanation:

A single batch of ice cream takes
`(3)/(8)` of a pound of chocolate. For every added batch, we add another
`(3)/(8)` pound, or multiply
`(3)/(8)` by the number of batches.

In this case, we are making 4 batches, so we need to multiply
`(3)/(8)` by 4.

`4\cdot (3)/(8)`

`(4)/(1)\cdot (3)/(8) =(3)/(2)`

`(3)/(2)=1.5`

We need 1.5 pounds of chocolate to make 4 batches of ice cream.

Good luck ^^
