Question

For another recipe, Shane used 6 1/2 cups of all purpose flour to make 2 pizzas. How many cups of flour does the recipe require if he only wants to make 1 pizza (unit rate)? showing work

Answer 1

The answer is: 13/2 x 1/2 = 3 1/4

All you would need to do to get the answer is divide 6/1/2 by 2

6 1/2 divided by 2

Convert 6 1/2 to improper fraction

6 1/2 = 13/2

Convert 2 to a fraction

2/1

Divide:

13/2 divided by 2/1

When dividing fractions, you have to flip the second fraction and change the divide sign into a multiplication sign.

13/2 x 1/2 = 3 1/4
