Q. Wendy thinks the perfect chocolate chip cookie has 3535 chocolate chips for every 55 cookies. Cookie Club makes cookies with 100100 chocolate chips for every 1515 cookies.\newlineWhat will Wendy think about the chocolate in Cookie Club's cookies?\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) Cookie Club's cookies have too much chocolate.\newline(B) Cookie Club's cookies have too little chocolate.\newline(C) Cookie Club's cookies are just right.
  1. Find Ratio: First, we need to find the ratio of chocolate chips to cookies according to Wendy's preference.\newlineWendy prefers 3535 chocolate chips for every 55 cookies.\newlineSo, the ratio is 3535 chocolate chips / 55 cookies.
  2. Simplify Wendy's Ratio: Now, let's simplify Wendy's ratio to find out how many chocolate chips she prefers per cookie. 35 chocolate chips5 cookies=7 chocolate chips per cookie.\frac{35 \text{ chocolate chips}}{5 \text{ cookies}} = 7 \text{ chocolate chips per cookie}.
  3. Find Cookie Club's Ratio: Next, we need to find the ratio of chocolate chips to cookies for Cookie Club. Cookie Club uses 100100 chocolate chips for every 1515 cookies. So, the ratio is 100100 chocolate chips / 1515 cookies.
  4. Simplify Cookie Club's Ratio: Now, let's simplify Cookie Club's ratio to find out how many chocolate chips they put per cookie. \newline100 chocolate chips15 cookies=6.666… chocolate chips per cookie\frac{100 \text{ chocolate chips}}{15 \text{ cookies}} = 6.666\ldots \text{ chocolate chips per cookie}, which we can approximate as 6.676.67 chocolate chips per cookie.
  5. Compare Ratios: Now we compare Wendy's preferred ratio to Cookie Club's ratio. Wendy prefers 77 chocolate chips per cookie, while Cookie Club provides approximately 6.676.67 chocolate chips per cookie.
  6. Conclusion: Since Wendy prefers 77 chocolate chips per cookie and Cookie Club provides approximately 6.676.67 chocolate chips per cookie, Cookie Club's cookies have less chocolate than Wendy's preference.\newlineTherefore, Wendy will think that Cookie Club's cookies have too little chocolate.
