Answer 1

Answer:

2 cups of flour

2/3 cup of sugar

1 1/3 cups of chocolate chips

Step-by-step explanation:

3 dozen chocolate chip cookies

3 cups of flour

1 cup of sugar

2 cups of chocolate chips

The recipe is for 3 dozen cookies as stated above.

If you make 2 dozen cookies, then you are making 2/3 of the recipe since 2 is 2/3 of 3.

That means you need 2/3 of all the ingredients.

2/3 × 3 dozen chocolate chip cookies

2/3 × 3 cups of flour

2/3 × 1 cup of sugar

2/3 × 2 cups of chocolate chips

We simplify the amounts to:

2 dozen chocolate chip cookies

2 cups of flour

2/3 cup of sugar

1 1/3 cups of chocolate chips
