Question

Josh's chicken soup recipe calls for 2 1\2 L of chicken stock. Josh makes 3 1\4 times the recipe for a family reunion. How much chicken stock does Josh use to make soup for the family reunion? Express your answer as a mixed number in the simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:

$8\frac{1}{8}$ L

Step-by-step explanation:

A recipe of chicken soup calls for chicken stocks = $2\frac{1}{2}$ L

Josh makes $3\frac{1}{4}$ times the recipe

= $3\frac{1}{4}$ × $2\frac{1}{2}$

= $\frac{13}{4}$ × $\frac{5}{2}$

= $\frac{65}{8}$

= $8\frac{1}{8}$

Josh would use $8\frac{1}{8}$ L of chicken stocks.

Answer 2

Just multiply :
2 1/2•3 1/4=

2.5•3.25=

8.125 = 8 1/8
8 1/8 is your answer!
