Okay, here is the word problem, with the answers we were supposed to get... HOW are we to end up with these? All 10 of us in the class do NOT get these answers...
On Oct 1, 2003, the Topeka Capital Journal ran a featured article on making cake frosting. The recipe called for an 8-ounce package of cream cheese, 1/2 cup of butter, 2 teaspoons of vanilla, and 3/4 cup of confectioner's sugar. If Mr. Baker watns to reduce the recipe by 1/3, how much of each ingredient would he need?
These are the answers in the back of the book:
7 2/3
5 1/3
1/3
1 1/3
1/2
Our teacher won't show us because she just keeps moving on to the next chapter...
