Question

Please answer :( If it takes 1/3 cup of flour to make 1/4 of a cake, how many cups of flour are needed to make a whole cake?

Answer 1

Answer:

4/3 cup or 1 1/3 cup

Step-by-step explanation:

the amount of flour needed to bake the whole cake can be represented by the variable x:

1/3=(1/4)*x

(1/3)/(1/4)=x

x=(1/3)/(1/4)

x=(1/3)*(4/1)

x=4/3

if transferred into a mixed number it is 1 1/3

Thus, 4/3 cup (or 1 1/3 cups) of flour is needed to bake the whole cake

Answer 2

Answer:

1 $\frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4cake=1/3cup

Now times both sides by 4

$\frac{1}{4}$ x $\frac{4}{1}$=1 cake

$\frac{1}{3}$ x $\frac{4}{1}$=$\frac{4}{3}$ which equals 1 $\frac{1}{3}$
