A cookie factory used 26.1 kilograms of chocolate chips to make 4 batches of cookies. How many kilograms of chocolate chips did the factory put in each batch?

Respuesta :

Answer:

There are 6.525 kilograms per batch

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use proportions to solve this problem

26.1 kilograms         x kilograms

----------------------- = ---------------------

4 batches                    1 batch

Using cross products

26.1 * 1 = 4 * x

Divide each side by 4

26.1 /4 = 4x/4

6.525 kilograms = x

There are 6.525 kilograms per batch
