A recipe for cookies calls for 2⁄3 of a cup of chocolate chips and 4 cups of flour. If you want to make a bigger batch, using 6 cups of flour, how many cups of chocolate chips will you need?

6 answers

multiply by 6/4 which luckily is 3/2 :)
4 cups/6 cups = (2/3) / x
2/3 = 2/3 x
x = 1, you need 1 cup of chips

if you need 2/3 for 4 cups then for six cups 1 choc chip so therefore the answer is x= 1
You are correct! If the original recipe calls for 2/3 cup of chocolate chips for 4 cups of flour, then for 6 cups of flour, you would need to use the same ratio of chocolate chips to flour, which is 2/3 cup of chocolate chips for every 4 cups of flour. To find out how much chocolate chips you need for 6 cups of flour, you can set up a proportion:

2/3 cup chocolate chips / 4 cups flour = x cups chocolate chips / 6 cups flour

Cross-multiplying gives:

4x = 2/3 * 6

4x = 4

x = 1

Therefore, you will need 1 cup of chocolate chips for a bigger batch using 6 cups of flour.
