Question

Jacob’s recipe calls for 4 7/8 cups of raisins. He has 6/11 of the amount that he needs.

Answer 1

If you would like to know how many cups of raisins does Jacob have, you can calculate this using the following steps:

6/11 ... 1/2
4 7/8 cups ... 5 cups

1/2 of 5 cups = 1/2 * 5 = 5/2 = 2 1/2 cups

The correct result would be C. 2 1/2.
