#7/12# butter is need for 16 cookies

Explanation:

#16# is #1/3# of #48#. So then, the recipe for #16# cookies would be #1/3# of the recipe for #48# cookies. The amount of butter we need #1/3# of the butter for #48# cookies.

#1/3##times##1##3/4##=?# (Equation)

#=##1/3##times##7/4# (Changed the mixed fraction to an improper fraction.)

#=##7/12# (Multiplied and solved!)

The amount of butter Howie and Steve need for #16# cookies is #7/12#! Though you didn't tell me the measure like #1##3/4# of a cup or something, make sure that you add of something to the #7/12#! And by something, I mean a cup or something like that.

I don't really have any sources to list because I just used my mind. I hope you understand the explanation!
