Jesse has a recipe that calls for 2 1/4 cups of chicken broth. He wants to make one third of this recipe. How many cups of broth should Jesse use? A. 4/27 B. 3/4 C. 5 1/4 D. 6 3/4

Rewrite the full amount needed as an improper fraction:

2 1/4 = 9/4

Now multiply the full amount by the scale:

9/4 x 1/3  = 9/12

9/12 can be reduced to 3/4

The answer is B. 3/4

answer:

step-by-step explanation:

here, the total dishes = 10

dishes having meat = 3 ( chicken, meatloaf and hamburger )

thus, the probability of having meat on the chosen dishes = number of dishes having meat / total dishes

=

therefore, the probability of not having meat = 1- the probability of having meat on the chosen dishes

=

=

=

⇒ option b is correct.
