Question

A restaurant uses 2 1/2 pints if broth for each pot of chicken noodle soup. How many pints are needed for 1/4 pot of soup.

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{5}{8}$ pints will be needed for $\frac{1}{4}$ pots of the soup.

Step-by-step explanation:

Required quantity for each pot of chicken noodle soup= $2\frac{1}{2}$ pints of broth.

So we have to calculate the amount of broth needed for $\frac{1}{4}$ pots of the soup.

Total quantity required = Quantity used for one pot × number of pots

                                      = $\frac{5}{2}\times \frac{1}{4}$

                                      = $\frac{5}{8}$ pints

Therefore, $\frac{5}{8}$ pints will be needed for $\frac{1}{4}$ pots of the soup.
