.A batch of cookies calls for 1.5 ounces of chocolate chips. Mike is baking 5 batches of cookies. He already has 2.2 ounces of chocolate chips. How many more ounces of chocolate chips does he need?

Respuesta :

Answer:

5.3 more ounces of chocolate chips

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi,

We know that for every batch of cookies, Mike needs 1.5 ounces of chocolate chips. If he wants to bake 5 batches of cookies, we have to multiply 1.5 by 5. When we do that we get...

1.5 x 5 = 7.5

But we know he already has 2.2 ounces of chocolate chips so...

7.5 - 2.2 = 5.3

Subtract how many ounces he needs by the amount he already has to get what he now needs.

Mike needs 5.3 more ounces of chocolate chips.

I hope this helped you!
