Question

Alex's recipe calls for 1/3 cup of chocolate chips for every 2 cups of flour. If he increases the

amount of flour to 3 cups, how many cups of chocolate chips will he need?

Answer 1

1 cup

Explanation:

1/3 cup of chocolate chips : 2 cup of flours

So 1/3:2 = x:3

Because we want to find x, the number of how many cups of chocolate chips he needs.
you can cross multiply where you get 1/3·3=2x
which is 1=2x and x=1
