Question

In a chocolate chip cookie recipe flour,brown sugar, and chocolate chips are mixed in the ratio 5:3:4 if the total volume of the three ingredients is 720 ML how many mL of Chocolate chips are in the mix

Answer 1

Answer:

240 mL.

Step-by-step explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Ratio of Flour = 5

Ratio of brown sugar = 3

Ratio of chocolate = 4

Total volume = 720 mL

Next, we shall determine the total ratio. This can be obtained as follow:

Total ratio = ratio of flour + ratio of brown sugar + ratio of chocolate

Total ratio = 5 + 3 + 4

Total ratio = 12

Finally, we shall determine the volume of the chocolate chips in the mixture as shown below:

Volume of chocolate chips = ratio of chocolate /total ratio x total volume

Ratio of chocolate = 4

Total ratio = 12

Total volume = 720 mL

Volume of chocolate chips =..?

Volume of chocolate chips = ratio of chocolate /total ratio x total volume

Volume of chocolate chip = 4/12 x 720

Volume of chocolate chip = 240 mL

Therefore, the volume of the chocolate chips in the mixture is 240 mL.
