If a batch of cookies uses 1 1/3 cups of chocolate chips to make 24 cookies, how many cookies will 3 cups of chocolate chips make? if you can explain your answer, that would be , but not necessary. for any : )

x = 54 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use ratios to solve this problem

1 1/3 cups chocolate chips    3 cups chocolate chips

 =

24 cookies                                   x cookies

Using cross products

1 1/3 * x = 3 * 24

Let change 1 1/3 to an improper fraction

1 1/3 = (3*1+1)/3 = 4/3

4/3 x = 72

Multiply each side by 3/4 to isolate x

3/4 * 4/3x = 72*3/4

x = 54 cookies

it is a wrong moves because it is use of invalid or otherwise faulty
