First off start with a ratio by which the recipe is smaller than the required amount. 3 8 = 2.67 Then multiply 16 ounces by that ratio and voila.
The answer is: she has to buy 43 ounces
8 divided by 3 is 2.67. that times 16 is 42.67 , so a little less than 43 oz will be needed.
Allie needs approximately 43 ounces of chocolate chips to make 8 dozen muffins, based on the recipe's requirement of 16 ounces for 3 dozen muffins. We calculated this by first determining the amount of chocolate chips needed per dozen and then scaling it up. This approach ensures that the recipe proportions are accurately followed.
