Question

A recipe calls for 2 2/3 cups of apple slices. Zoe wants to use 1 1/2 times this amount.

Answer 1

Answer:

4 cups of apple slices.

Step-by-step explanation:

A recipe calls for  $2\frac{2}{3}$ cups of apple slices.

Zoe wants to use  $1\frac{1}{2}$ times this amount.

We will multiply the amount of apple slices to  $1\frac{1}{2}$

$2\frac{2}{3}$ ×  $1\frac{1}{2}$

= $\frac{8}{3}$ ×  $\frac{3}{2}$

= $\frac{24}{6}$

= 4 cups

Zoe will use 4 cups of apple slices.

Answer 2

Convert to improer fraction

2 and 2/3=2+2/3=6/3+2/3=8/3

1 and 1/2=1+1/2=2/2+1/2=3/2


1 and 1/2 of 2 and 2/3=
3/2 times 8/3=
24/6=
4

4 cups needed
