1 3/4 cups of flour for one batch but he wants to make 1 1/2 batches. How many more cups of flour will he need

Sagot :

Answer:

[tex]2\frac{5}{8} cups = 1\frac{1}{2}\ batches[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]1\frac{3}{4} cups = 1\ batch[/tex]

Required

Number of cups for [tex]1\frac{1}{2}[/tex] batches

[tex]1\frac{3}{4} cups = 1\ batch[/tex]

Multiply both sides by [tex]1\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]1\frac{1}{2} * 1\frac{3}{4} cups = 1\ batch * 1\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]1\frac{1}{2} * 1\frac{3}{4} cups = 1\frac{1}{2}\ batches[/tex]

Express fractions as improper fractions

[tex]\frac{3}{2} * \frac{7}{4} cups = 1\frac{1}{2}\ batches[/tex]

[tex]\frac{21}{8} cups = 1\frac{1}{2}\ batches[/tex]

Express fraction as improper fraction

[tex]2\frac{5}{8} cups = 1\frac{1}{2}\ batches[/tex]
