A chicken and rice recipe is shown below. Mrs. Hughes would like to make only two-thirds of the recipe. How many cups of each ingredient does Mrs. Hughes need? 2 2/3 cups of chicken broth 1 1/2 cups of chicken 3/4 cups of rice

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
