allie is making 8 dozen chocolate chip muffins and the recipe she is using calls for 16 ounce of chocolate chips for 3 dozen how many ounces does she need for her new amount



Answer :

First off start with a ratio by which the recipe is smaller than the required amount. [tex] \frac{8}{3} =2.67[/tex]
Then multiply 16 ounces by that ratio and voila.

The answer is: she has to buy 43 ounces 
8 divided by 3 is 2.67. that times 16 is 42.67 , so a little less than 43 oz will be needed.
