Question

you're making dessert, but your recipe needs adjustment. your cookie recipe makes 3 dozen cookies, but you need 2 dozen cookies. if the recipe requires 3/4 cup of vegetable oil, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 1/8 cups of sprinkles, how much of each of these ingredients are necessary for 2 dozen cookies

Answer 1

1/2 cup oil, 1/3 teaspoon vanilla extract, 3/4 cup sprinkles

Explanation:

2 is 2/3 of 3. Thus, multiply all the values given by 2/3.

3/4 * 2/3 = 1/2 cup oil

1/2 * 2/3 = 1/3 teaspoon vanilla extract

9/8 * 2/3 = 3/4 cup sprinkles

I hope this helps!
