Math Problem Statement

If Drake doubles the recipe, how many cups of chocolate chips will he need? Show your work.

Solution

The question at the bottom asks, "If Drake doubles the recipe, how many cups of chocolate chips will he need?"

The original recipe calls for 1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips. To find the amount of chocolate chips needed when the recipe is doubled, we multiply this amount by 2:

2×112=2×(32)=62=3 cups of chocolate chips.2 \times 1\frac{1}{2} = 2 \times \left( \frac{3}{2} \right) = \frac{6}{2} = 3 \text{ cups of chocolate chips}.

So, if Drake doubles the recipe, he will need 3 cups of chocolate chips.

  2. How many cups of milk would be required if Drake halves the recipe?
  3. What is the total amount of chopped nuts needed if Drake makes four times the recipe?
  4. If Drake uses double the amount of sugar, how much white sugar will he need?
  5. How much oil will Drake need if he only makes half of the original recipe?
