How many dozen cookies does Valerie need to make? ** Her original recipe makes 16 dozen and she only needs 4 dozen so she needs to reduce the recipe by 16/4 = <<16/4=4>>4
How many pounds of butter does Valerie need? ** For 4 dozen cookies, she needs to reduce her recipe by 4 and the original called for 4 pounds of butter so she now needs 4/4 = 1 pound of butter
