Sorry... I can't tell which ones are fractions...
To determine which recipe will make cookies with the most chocolate chips per cookie, we need to calculate the ratio of chocolate chips to the number of cookies in each recipe.
First, let's calculate the ratio for Recipe 1:
Recipe 1 has 4 cups of chocolate chips for a batch of 2 dozen cookies, which means 24 cookies.
So, the ratio of chocolate chips to the number of cookies is 4 cups / 24 cookies = 1/6.
Next, let's calculate the ratio for Recipe 2:
Recipe 2 has 1 cup of chocolate chips for a batch of 18 cookies.
So, the ratio of chocolate chips to the number of cookies is 1 cup / 18 cookies = 1/18.
Finally, let's calculate the ratio for Recipe 3:
Recipe 3 has 3/4 cup of chocolate chips for a batch of 12 cookies.
So, the ratio of chocolate chips to the number of cookies is (3/4) cup / 12 cookies = 1/16.
Now, let's compare the ratios:
Recipe 1 has a ratio of 1/6.
Recipe 2 has a ratio of 1/18.
Recipe 3 has a ratio of 1/16.
To order the recipes from the least chocolate chips per cookie to the most, we arrange them based on the ratios:
1. Recipe 2: 1 cup of chips for a batch of 18 cookies (ratio = 1/18).
2. Recipe 3: 3/4 cup of chips for a batch of 12 cookies (ratio = 1/16).
3. Recipe 1: 4 cups of chips for a batch of 2 dozen cookies (ratio = 1/6).
Therefore, Recipe 2 will make cookies with the least chocolate chips per cookie, followed by Recipe 3, and Recipe 1 will make cookies with the most chocolate chips per cookie.
This is a problem with copy and paste — sometimes it works, but most times it's either strangely formatted or doesn't paste at all.
Best to do your own typing.
