Question

If 1 pint of sour cream is needed for soufflé and the chef only need to make 1/3 as much is the recipe calls for then how many ounces would a chef use?

Answer 1

5 1/3 ounces

Explanation:

1 pint is equal to 16 ounces.

The recipe asks for 1 pint of sour cream (16 ounces).

The chef needs to use only 1/3 as much as the recipe asks for.

Therefore, the amount of sour cream that the chef needs to use is:

1/3 * 16 = 5 1/3 ounces

The chef would use 5 1/3 ounces of sour cream.
