Question

Judy has 75 cookies 

she has 15 ounces of chocolate chips 

what Does one ounce of chocolate chips does it make of cookies

Answer 1

This is a unit concept.  When you have a unit, you find out how much for 1.  Since we want to find the number of cookies per ounce of chocolate chips, we divide the number of cookies by the number of ounces given.

 

75 / 15 = 5

 

 

Judy should make 5 cookies for each ounce of chocolate chips.
