Question

used 1/3 of bag of carrots to make 1/6 of gallon of stew. If Jamie's recipe is for 1 gallon of stew, how many carrots will need to make 1/2 the recipe?

Answer 1

1 bag

Step-by-step explanation:

We use unitary method to address this problem.

The number of bags of carrots required to make $\frac{1}{6}$  gallons of stew is $\frac{1}{3}$

The number of bags of carrots required to make 1 gallon of stew is $6\times$$\frac{1}{3}$=$2$

required number of carrot bags for the recipe of 1 gallon stew is 2

required number of carrot bags for half the recipe is $\frac{2}{2}=1$

Answer 2

Answer:

1 bag of carrots will need to make $\frac{1}{2}$ the recipe

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$\frac{1}{6}$ of gallon of stew = $\frac{1}{3}$  bags of carrots

∴ 1 gallon of stew = $\frac{1}{3} \times 6 = \frac{6}{3} =2$ bags of carrots

Jamie's recipe is for 1 gallon of stew as given and we need to find for$\frac{1}{2}$ the recipe.

1 gallon of stew = 2 bags of carrots

$\frac{1}{2}$ gallon of stew = $2 \times \frac{1}{2}= \frac{2}{2}= 1$ bag of carrots.

1 bag of carrots will need to make $\frac{1}{2}$ the recipe.
