Sagot :

Answer:

[tex]n = 5\frac{10}{13}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Call = 6\frac{1}{2}[/tex] cups

[tex]Recipe = 37\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ounce

Required

Number of ounces per cup (n)

To do this, we simply divide the Recipe by the call

So, we have:

[tex]n = \frac{Recipe}{Call}[/tex]

[tex]n = 37\frac{1}{2} \div 6\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Express as improper fraction

[tex]n = \frac{75}{2} \div \frac{13}{2}[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]n = \frac{75}{2} * \frac{2}{13}[/tex]

[tex]n = \frac{75}{13}[/tex]

[tex]n = 5\frac{10}{13}[/tex]
