Problem of the Day: I ONLY NEED A FRACTION OF THAT!


I ONLY NEED A FRACTION OF THAT! Image result for salad dressing

Kyle’s family has a salad dressing recipe that can feed his entire family! Kyle has shared the recipe with Julia for her upcoming Easter dinner. Julia’s family is only ⅓ the size of Kyle’s therefore she needs to adjust the size of the recipe by determining one third of the recipe (and each ingredient). How much of each ingredient will Julia need to make the dressing for her family?
