A recipe for chocolate chip cookies calls for 2 1/3

cups of flour. If you are making 1 1/3
recipes, how many cups of flour are​ needed?

1 answer

To find out how many cups of flour are needed for 1 1/3 recipes, you can multiply the amount of flour needed for one recipe by 1 1/3.

2 1/3 cups x 1 1/3 = 2 1/3 cups x 4/3 = 8/3 cups

Therefore, you would need 8/3 cups of flour for 1 1/3 recipes. Simplifying this fraction, we get:

8/3 = 2 and 2/3

So, you would need 2 and 2/3 cups of flour for 1 1/3 recipes.
