Birthday Brownies
Birthday Brownies
Jessica is looking forward to celebrating her birthday, which is coming up
next week. To prepare, Jessica and her mom decide to spend Sunday
afternoon making chocolate chip brownies to share with her friends. Jessica’s
mom has a special recipe she makes for Jessica each year on her birthday.
This year, Jessica is looking forward to helping her mom and learning the
recipe.
Jessica wants to share some of the brownies with her basketball teammates
on Monday and to share the rest with her class at school on Tuesday. To be
sure that all of Jessica’s friends in basketball and at school get at least one
brownie, Jessica and her mom decide to double the recipe to make two
batches of brownies.
At basketball practice, Jessica’s friends can’t wait to eat the brownies.
Jessica brings three-quarters of one batch to practice and shares the
brownies with a total of 12 people.
There are 30 people in Jessica’s class at school. They eat the rest of the
brownies when Jessica brings them to school. Her friend Marvin loves
chocolate chips. When he thanks Jessica for bringing the chocolate chip
brownies to school, he asks whether she will share the recipe. He wants to
make chocolate chip brownies for his birthday, too. Jessica is happy to share
the recipe she learned to make with her mom. She gives Marvin the recipe
card below.
