a cookie recipe calls for a half cup of chocolate chips per 3 dozen cookies. How many cups of chocolate chips should be used for 10 dozen cookies?

Respuesta :

To answer this question, you should set up a proportion that demonstrates the ratio of chocolate chips to cookies.

[tex]\frac{0.5}{36} =\frac{x}{120}[/tex]

36 and 120 are used because 1 dozen=12.

Cross multiply and solve for x to get the answer.

[tex]60=36y[/tex]

[tex]\frac{5}{3}=x[/tex]

The answer is [tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex] cups.

The number of cups of chocolate chips that should be used for 10 dozen cookies is 1 2/3 cups.

Based on the information given, the expression to solve the question will be:

0.5/3 = x/10

Cross multiply

3 × x = 0.5 × 10

3x = 5.

x = 5/3

x = 1 2/3 cups

Therefore, the number of cups of chocolate chips that should be used for 10 dozen cookies will be 1 2/3 cups.
