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!
