Answer:
1 1/3 bags of chocolate chips
Step-by-step explanation:
If Alana has 2 1/4 bags of chocolate chips that she wants to use in 3 batches of chocolate chip cookies, then we can say;
2 1/4 bags of cookies = 3 batches of chips
To determine how much of the chocolate chips will she use in each batch of cookies, we can say;
1 bag of cookies = x batches of chips
Equating both expressions
2 1/4 bags of cookies = 3 batches of chips
1 bag of cookies = x batches of chips
Cross multiply
2 1/4 x = 3
9/4 x = 3
9x/4 = 3
9x = 12
x = 12/9
x = 4/3
x = 1 1/3
Hence Alana will need 1 1/3 bags of chocolate chips
