Question

Carrie needs 4 1/2 cups of flour for a recipe. She can only find a 1/4 cup measuring cup. How many times will Carrie need to fill this measuring cup to have enough flour for the recipe?

Answer 1

Answer:

Carrie will need to fill the measuring cup 18 times to have enough flour for the recipe.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are four 1/4's in one cup and two 1/4's in a 1/2 cup. So 4 times 4 equals 16 and 2 times 1 is 2. Add those together and you get 18 times. Sorry if it was confusing.
