Question

Ms. Horner is baking her famous chocolate chip cookies again. her secret recipe needs to have 5/9 of a cup of chocolate chips for one batch. how many chocolate chips will she need if she only wanted to make 2/3 of a batch?

Answer 1

According to the information given the recipe for 1 batch calls for 5/9 of a cup of chocolate chips, this can be written as a relation between the amount of batch that is going to be made, and the amount of chocolate chips required.

$1batch\Rightarrow\frac{5}{9}\text{chocolatechi}ps$

according to this

$\frac{2}{3}\text{batch}\Rightarrow x$

find the value of x

$x=\frac{2}{3}\cdot\frac{5}{9}$$x=\frac{10}{27}$

according to this the amount of chocolate chips needed is 10/27 of a cup.
