A cookie recipe called for a half cup of chocolate chips per 3 dozen cookies. How many cups of chocolate chips should be used for 10 dozen cookies?
10/3 = x/.5
Solve for x.
x=50/3
Kayrison has three and a half cups of chocolate chips to make cookies. The recipe uses one-third cup of chips in each batch. How many batches of cookies can Kayrison make?
To find out how many cups of chocolate chips are needed for 10 dozen cookies, we need to determine the ratio of chocolate chips to cookies.
In the given recipe, 3 dozen cookies require 1/2 cup of chocolate chips.
We can set up a proportion to find the answer:
(1/2 cup) / (3 dozen cookies) = (X cups) / (10 dozen cookies)
To solve for X (the number of cups for 10 dozen cookies), we cross-multiply and simplify:
(X cups) = (1/2 cup) * (10 dozen cookies) / (3 dozen cookies)
Now, let's simplify this:
(X cups) = (1/2 cup) * (10/3) = (1/2) * (10/3) = 10/6 = 5/3
Therefore, 10 dozen cookies would require 5/3 cup of chocolate chips.
