Answer:
Cups of chopped celery in original recipe = [tex]\frac{3}{4}\ cups[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Trevor is making 2/3 of a recipe
Number of cups of chopped celery used = 1/2 cup
The following equation can be used to find the original number of cups of chopped celery used in recipe.
[tex]\frac{2}{3}c=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Multiplying both sides by 3/2
[tex]\frac{3}{2}*\frac{2}{3}c=\frac{1}{2}*\frac{3}{2}\\\\c= \frac{3}{4}\\[/tex]
Hence,
Cups of chopped celery in original recipe = [tex]\frac{3}{4}\ cups[/tex]
