Answer:
See explanation below
Step-by-step explanation:
This is actually pretty easy to explain, and we all need to do is work with fractions.
So we have a recipe for chicken and rice, but the person decides to use 2/3 of the recipe. to determine the quantity of each ingredient to be used, we just need to multiply the cups of each ingredient by 2/3, and that's it.
Let's go with each ingredient, one by one:
Chicken broth 2 2/3 cups:
In this case, let's convert the 2 2/3 to a simple fraction. (We just multiply the denominator by the single number and then, sum the numerator)
2 2/3 = (3*2) + 2 / 3 = 8/3 of cups
8/3 * 2/3 = 16/9 cups of chicken.
But to do this better, let's convert this into a mix fraction:
16 : 9 = 1 and the rest is 7 so:
Chicken 1 1/2 cups:
We'll do the same thing as before:
1 1/2 = (2*1) + 1 / 2 = 3/2 of cups
3/2 * 2/3 = 1
3/4 cups or rice:
3/4 * 2/3 = 1/2
Hope this helps
