Question

A chocolate chip cookie recipe requires one and three quarters cups of flour to one cup of chocolate chips. If four and two thirds cups of flour is used, what quantity of chocolate chips will be needed, according to the recipe?

Answer 1

1 cup of chocolate chips for every 1and 3/4 cup of flour

so divide 4 and 2/3 x 1 and 3/4

turn them both into fractions

4 2/3 = 14/3

1 3/4 = 7/4

14/3 / 7/4 = 14/3 x 4/7 = 56/21 = 2 and 2/3 cups of chocolate chips are needed
