Question

MRS.Bonnette's recipe for banana bread calls for 3 and one fourths cups of sugar. She wants to make 6.5 batches so that she has enough for everyone. How much sugar will she need

Answer 1

Answer:

$21/ \frac {1}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we're given that a batch requires 3 and one fourths cups of sugar, this is written as

$3/ \frac {1}{4}$

If she wants 6.5 batches then we just cross multiply

1 batch=$3/ \frac {1}{4}$

6.5 batches=x

X=$6.5\times 3/ \frac {1}{4}$

X=$6/ \frac {1}{2}\times 3/ \frac {1}{4}$

X=$\frac {13}{2}\times \frac {13}{4}$

X=$\frac {169}{8}$

X=$21/ \frac {1}{8}$
