QuestionA chocolate chip cookie recipe requires two and one half cups of flour to one cup of chocolate chips. If three and one third cups of flour is used, what quantity of chocolate chips will be needed, according to the recipe? $\square$

Studdy Solution
Solve the proportion to find the required quantity of chocolate chips.
Cross-multiply to solve for $x$: $$2.5x = 3.33$$
Divide both sides by 2.5 to isolate $x$: $$x = \frac{3.33}{2.5}$$
Calculate the division: $$x = 1.332$$
Therefore, the quantity of chocolate chips needed is approximately: $$\boxed{1.332} \text{ cups}$$
