Answer:

Their cookies are the same "chocolate chippy"

Explanation:

Find the amount of chocolate chips per dozen of cookies.

Sam:

Sam recipe calls for 1 1/2 cups of choclate chips for every 3 dozen cookies. Then


1(1)/(2)/ 3=(3)/(2)/ 3=(3)/(2)* (1)/(3)=(1)/(2)

cup of chocolate chips per dozen.

Janet:

Janet recipe calls for 2 1/2 cups of choclate chips for every 5 dozen cookies, then


2(1)/(2)/ 5=(5)/(2)/ 5=(5)/(2)* (1)/(5)=(1)/(2)

cup of chocolate chips per dozen.

Their cookies are the same "chocolate chippy"
