Respuesta :

Answer:

1.5 pounds. it's simply 3/8 times 4

Answer:

1.5 pounds of chocolate

Step-by-step explanation:

A single batch of ice cream takes [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] of a pound of chocolate. For every added batch, we add another [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] pound, or multiply [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] by the number of batches.

In this case, we are making 4 batches, so we need to multiply [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] by 4.

[tex]4\cdot \frac{3}{8}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{4}{1}\cdot \frac{3}{8} =\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{3}{2}=1.5[/tex]

We need 1.5 pounds of  chocolate to make 4 batches of ice cream.

Good luck ^^
