Question

A batch of chicken required 3 1/3 cups of flour if a fast food restaurant was making 4 3/7 batches, how much flour would they need ?

Answer 1

3 1/3 x 4 3/7 

= 10/3 x 31/7 = 310/21 = 14 16/21

Answer 2

Answer:

$14\frac{16}{21}$ cups of flour

Step-by-step explanation:

1 batch of chicken required 3 1/3 cups of flour

$3\frac{1}{3} =\frac{3 \cdot 3 + 1}{3} =\frac{10}{3}$

the fast food restaurant was making 4 3/7 batches.

We need to find how much of flour they need to make 4 3/7 batches

$4\frac{3}{7} =\frac{4 \cdot 7 + 3}{7} =\frac{31}{7}$

1 batch requires $\frac{10}{3}$ cups of flour

$\frac{31}{7}$ batches requires $\frac{31}{7} \cdot \frac{10}{3}$

$\frac{310}{21}=14\frac{16}{21}$
