Answer: B. 4/5 cups.

Explanation:

Ratio number of--> chocolate chips : dozens of cookies made

--> 4 : 5

The question ask for 1 dozen of cookies. In the ratio above, it states for 5 dozens of cookies.

Our new ratio would be:

Chocolate chips: dozens of cookies made

x : 1

we turn the 5 in the right side of ratio by dividing by 5 so we must do the same for other side of ratio by dividing 5 with 4.

x=4/5

hence answer is B. 4/5 cups

...to be honest the question si worded the best but i assume this is what it means.
