Question

Larrys recipe for chocolate fudge requires the following ingredients:

2 1/2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
3/4 cup chopped nuts
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Larry is making a large batch of his fudge and will use 25 cups of semi sweet chocolate chips. Based on this info what is the total number of teaspoons of vanilla extract he will need to use?

Answer 1

set up a proportion. 2.5 cups of chocolate chips is proportional to 1.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract. this same ratio is needed for 25 cups of chocolate chips, so we get this:\[\frac{ 1.5 }{ 2.5 } = \frac{ x }{ 25 }\]cross multiply and divide to solve for x.

Answer 2

thank you!
