To find out how many cups of chocolate chips are needed for 28 servings, you can set up a proportion based on the original recipe.
The original recipe calls for ¼ cup of chocolate chips for 4 servings.
First, find out how much chocolate chips are needed per serving:
\[
\frac{1/4 \text{ cup}}{4 \text{ servings}} = \frac{1}{16} \text{ cup per serving}
\]
Now, multiply the amount needed per serving by the number of servings (28):
\[
\frac{1}{16} \text{ cup per serving} \times 28 \text{ servings} = \frac{28}{16} \text{ cups}
\]
Next, simplify \(\frac{28}{16}\):
\[
\frac{28}{16} = \frac{7}{4} = 1.75 \text{ cups}
\]
Thus, you will need **1.75 cups** of chocolate chips for 28 servings.
