Question

Recipe calls dor 1 3/4 cups of cheese. Only need to make 2/3 of recipe. How much cheese should be used?

Answer 1

$1\frac{1}{6}$ cups of cheese should be used for $\frac{2}{3}$ of the recipe.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Quantity of cheese used in recipe = $1\frac{3}{4}\ cups = \frac{7}{4}\ cups$

Recipe to made = $\frac{2}{3}$

Quantity to use in $\frac{2}{3}$ of recipe = $\frac{2}{3}\ of\ quantity\ required\ for\ full\ recipe$

Quantity to use = $\frac{2}{3}*\frac{7}{4}$

Quantity to use = $\frac{7}{6} = 1\frac{1}{6}\ cups$

$1\frac{1}{6}$ cups of cheese should be used for $\frac{2}{3}$ of the recipe.
