9/4 cups of flour is equal to 2 1/4 2/4 cups of flour is equal to 1/2 SO 16/4 cup flour is equal to 4 Which is 7/4 cups more than 2 1/4 7/4 cups is 1 3/4 cups (1/2 a cups less than 2 1/4) Which means he needs 1 3/4 cups of walnuts.
<span>Simplfied- 4 cups is 1/2 a cups short of double, since the flour is done is quarters, take the 1/4 cup away from the walnuts. </span>
<span>(times 1/2 by 1/2 you get 1/4 subtract it)</span>

at the mall the cost of a pretzel is $2 less than the cost of some ice cream. five ice creams cost the same as nine pretzels. fi

Elanso [62]

Cost of one pretzel is $2.5 and cost of one ice cream is $4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Cost of pretzel = x

Cost of ice cream = y

According to given statement;

the cost of a pretzel is $2 less than the cost of some ice cream.

x = y - 2 Eqn 1

five ice creams cost the same as nine pretzels.

9x = 5y Eqn 2

Putting value of x from Eqn 1 in Eqn 2

$9(y-2)=5y\\9y-18=5y\\9y-5y=18\\4y=18$

Dividing both sides by 4

$\frac{4y}{4}=\frac{18}{4}\\y=4.5$

Putting y=4.5 in Eqn 1

$x=4.5-2\\x=2.5$

Cost of one pretzel is $2.5 and cost of one ice cream is $4.5
