A chef used a recipe to make soup. The recipe for the soup requires 2/3 cup of cream for every 1 2/3 of broth. the chef used five cups of broth. how many cups of cream did chef use?
To find out how many cups of cream the chef used, we need to calculate the proportion of cream to broth based on the recipe.
The recipe requires 2/3 cup of cream for every 1 2/3 cups of broth.
So, for every 1 cup of broth, there is 2/3 * (1 2/3) = 2/3 * 5/3 = 10/9 cups of cream.
Since the chef used 5 cups of broth, the chef would have used 5 * 10/9 = 50/9 = 5.56 cups of cream.
Therefore, the chef used 5.56 cups of cream to make the soup.
