Fun Fractions from Hershey's - Worksheet 1 Answers
Sweet Math Lesson

The Hershey's Homemade Chocolate Ice Cream Recipe serves 6 people. You want to serve the ice cream to 3 people. How much of each ingredient would you need? 

Hershey's Homemade Chocolate Ice Cream - Make the recipe for 3!

Remember: recipe for 6 divided by 2 = recipe for 3

So...here is how you make a recipe that is HALF as large:

5 eggs divided by 2 = 2.5 eggs

1 cup sugar divided by 2 = 1/2 cup sugar

2 cans condensed milk divided by 2 = 1 can condensed milk

6 cups Hershey's Chocolate Milk divided by 2 = 3 cups Hershey's Chocolate Milk

1 1/2 tsp. vanilla divided by 2 = 3/4 tsp. vanilla (don't worry, this was a tough one!)

3 oz. semi-sweet melted chocolate divided by 2 = 1.5 oz. semi-sweet melted chocolate

Beat eggs.  Add sugar and mix well.  Add condensed milk, chocolate milk, melted chocolate, and vanilla one ingredient at a time, stirring well after each addition.  Mix until smooth.  Pour directly into ice cream mixer or machine.  For best results let ice cream freeze over night.  Makes approximately 3 one-cup servings.
