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 $\dfrac{1}{2}$ cups of chocolate chips for 6 cups of flour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of cups of flour needed for $\dfrac{2}{3}$ 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.

$\dfrac{\dfrac{2}{3}}{4}=\dfrac{x}{6}\\\\\dfrac{1}{12}=\dfrac{x}{6}\\\\x=\dfrac{6}{12}=\dfrac{1}{2}$

Hence, it needs $\dfrac{1}{2}$ cups of chocolate chips for 6 cups of flour.
