Question

Cheryl and Marcus are going to make 2 batches of muffins. The smaller batch is 2/3 the size of the larger batch. The recipe for the larger batch called for 3/5 cup of water. How much water will they need to make a smaller batch?

Answer 1

Answer:

2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that the smaller batch is 2/3 of the bigger batch. That being said, you would divide the 3/5 into three parts giving you 3 of 1/5. Thinking back to the portions, the smaller batch is 2  parts of 3. Giving you 2/5 cups of water for the smaller batch.
