According to a recipe , 2 1/2 * c * u * p chocolate chips are needed to make a large batch of cookies. Manuel decided to make only 1/3 of the cookies . How many cups of chocolate chips will Manuel need ?
From the above question:
1 batch of cookies = 2 1/2 cups of chocolate chips
1/3 batch of cookies = x
Cross Multiply
x = 1/3 × 2 1/2
x = 1/3 × 5/2
x = 5/6 cups of chocolate chips
Hence, Manuel would need 5/6 cups of chocolate chips for 1/3 bath of cookies.
