Question

A recipe for cookies calls for 2⁄3 of a cup of chocolate chips and 4 cups of flour. If you want to make a bigger batch, using 6 cups of flour, how many cups of chocolate chips will you need?

Answer 1

1 Cup of Chocolate Chips

Answer 2

Answer: It needs
`(1)/(2)` cups of chocolate chips for 6 cups of flour.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of cups of flour needed for
`(2)/(3)` of cup of chocolate chips = 4

We need to find the number of cups of chocolate chips he needs for 6 cups of flour.

Since there is direct relation between cups of chocolate chips and cup of flour.

`((2)/(3))/(4)=(x)/(6)\\\\(1)/(12)=(x)/(6)\\\\x=(6)/(12)=(1)/(2)`

Hence, it needs
`(1)/(2)` cups of chocolate chips for 6 cups of flour.
