Sam used 2 /3 tablespoons of chili powder to make 1/ 9 liters of chili. If Sam's recipe is for 1 liter of chili, how much chili powder will he need to make 1 /2 the recipe?

Answer:Sam will need 3 tablespoons of chili powder to make 1/2 the recipe.Step-by-step explanation:We have to first find out out how many tablespoons of chili powder are needed for every liter of chili.We know that 2/3 tablespoons make 1/9 liters of chili, therefore:[tex]\frac{2/3\:tb}{1/9\:liter} =\frac{6\:tb}{liter}[/tex]So this is 6 tablespoons of chili powder per liter of chili.Now if Sam's recipe is for 1 liter of chili, and he wants to make 1/2 the recipe, this means that Sam is making 1/2 liters of chili.For 1/2 liters of chili we need[tex]\frac{6\:tb}{liter}*\frac{1}{2} lires= \boxed{3\:tablespoons.}[/tex]So our answer is 3 tablespoons of chill powder.
