Every time Carrie bakes a batch of brownies, she uses 18

cup of chocolate. If she has 12

cup(s) of chocolate remaining, how many batches of brownies can Carrie make? Input your answer as a whole number.

Respuesta :

Answer:

With 12 cups of chocolate Carrie can make (2/3) batch of brownies where 2 and 3 are WHOLE NUMBERS.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, according to the question:

18 cup of chocolate = 1 batch of brownies  

Now, the cups of chocolate left  = 12 cups

Let us assume : 12 cup of chocolate = p batch of brownies  

Now, by the RATIO of PROPORTION:

[tex]\frac{18}{12}  = \frac{1}{p} \\\implies   p  = \frac{12}{18}   =\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

So, p = 2/3 batch

Hence, with 12 cups of chocolate Carrie can make (2/3) batch of brownies where 2 and 3 are WHOLE NUMBERS.
