Answer:
2 cups of flour
2/3 cup of sugar
1 1/3 cups of chocolate chips
Explanation:
3 dozen chocolate chip cookies
3 cups of flour
1 cup of sugar
2 cups of chocolate chips
The recipe is for 3 dozen cookies as stated above.
If you make 2 dozen cookies, then you are making 2/3 of the recipe since 2 is 2/3 of 3.
That means you need 2/3 of all the ingredients.
2/3 × 3 dozen chocolate chip cookies
2/3 × 3 cups of flour
2/3 × 1 cup of sugar
2/3 × 2 cups of chocolate chips
We simplify the amounts to:
2 dozen chocolate chip cookies
2 cups of flour
2/3 cup of sugar
1 1/3 cups of chocolate chips
