Question

If 1/2 of a stick of butter will be used for 3/4 of a batch of cookies, what fraction of a stick of butter will be needed for a complete batch of cookies??

Answer 1

Answer:

• 2/3 of a stick of a butter

Step-by-step explanation:

Given ratio

• 1/2 of a stick of a butter ⇒ 3/4 of a batch of cookies

Divide both sides by 3/4

• 1/2 ÷ 3/4 ⇒ 3/4 ÷ 3/4
• 1/2×4/3 ⇒ 1
• 2/3 ⇒ 1

2/3 of a stick of a butter is the answer
