Question

Anthony makes candies. First, he mixes 1 cup of cream with 2 cups of chocolate. In all, he used 9 cups of these 2 ingredients. How many cups of chocolate does he use in this candy recipe?

Answer 1

6 cups

Explanation:

Anthony's recipe uses 2 cups of chocolate for each 3 cups of the two ingredients. So, the chocolate is 2/3 of the total number of cups of the two ingredients.

2/3 × 9 cups = 6 cups

Anthony uses 6 cups of chocolate to make the candies.
