Chomper is making a potion. The recipe calls for an eighth cup of mugwort for every three-fourths cup of newt, If Chomper uses 3 cups of newt, how many cups of mugwort will he need? Round to the nearest tenth

1 answer

To find out how many cups of mugwort Chomper will need, we first need to find the proportion between cups of mugwort and cups of newt.

The proportion is 1/8:3/4.

To find the amount of mugwort needed for 3 cups of newt, we cross multiply.

1/8 * 3/4 = 3/32

So Chomper will need 3/32 cups of mugwort, which is equal to 0.09375 cups.

Rounding to the nearest tenth, Chomper will need approximately 0.1 cups of mugwort.
