cut a recipe by 2/3
the recipe is:
1 pound of noodles
32 ounces of shredded cheese
32 ounces of sauce
:
We multiply the qty of each ingredient by 2/3
:
Change 1 lb to 16 oz
Noodles: 2%2F3 * 16 = 32%2F3 which is 102%2F3 oz (divide 3 into 32)
:
Shred Cheese: 2%2F3 * 32 = 64%2F3 which is 211%2F3 oz
:
Sauce: 2%2F3 * 32, do the same way
