Q. Nevaeh and Mason are adding chocolate chips to a batch of pre-made cookie dough to make chocolate chip cookies. Nevaeh mixes 44 cups of dough with 55 quarter-cups of chocolate chips and Mason mixes 44 cups of dough with 11 quarter-cup of chocolate chips. Whose cookies will be doughier?\newlineNevaeh's cookies will be doughier.\newlineMason's cookies will be doughier.\newlineThe two sets of cookies will be equally doughy.
  1. Calculate Chocolate Chips: Determine the total amount of chocolate chips Nevaeh uses in cups.\newlineNevaeh uses 55 quarter-cups of chocolate chips. Since there are 44 quarter-cups in a cup, we calculate:\newline55 quarter-cups ×(1 cup/4 quarter-cups)=54 cups=1.25 cups\times (1 \text{ cup} / 4 \text{ quarter-cups}) = \frac{5}{4} \text{ cups} = 1.25 \text{ cups} of chocolate chips.
  2. Calculate Chocolate Chips: Determine the total amount of chocolate chips Mason uses in cups.\newlineMason uses 11 quarter-cup of chocolate chips. Converting this to cups:\newline11 quarter-cup ×(1 cup4 quarter-cups)=14\times \left(\frac{1 \text{ cup}}{4 \text{ quarter-cups}}\right) = \frac{1}{4} cup =0.25= 0.25 cups of chocolate chips.
  3. Calculate Nevaeh's Ratio: Calculate the ratio of dough to chocolate chips for Nevaeh's cookies. Nevaeh has 44 cups of dough and 1.251.25 cups of chocolate chips. The ratio is: 44 cups of dough : 1.251.25 cups of chocolate chips.
  4. Calculate Mason's Ratio: Calculate the ratio of dough to chocolate chips for Mason's cookies.\newlineMason has 44 cups of dough and 0.250.25 cups of chocolate chips. The ratio is:\newline44 cups of dough : 0.250.25 cups of chocolate chips.
  5. Compare Ratios: Compare the ratios to determine whose cookies will be doughier.\newlineA higher ratio of dough to chocolate chips means the cookies will be doughier. We compare the ratios:\newlineNevaeh's ratio: 44 cups of dough : 1.251.25 cups of chocolate chips.\newlineMason's ratio: 44 cups of dough : 0.250.25 cups of chocolate chips.\newlineMason's ratio has more dough relative to chocolate chips, so Mason's cookies will be doughier.
