Question

Kevin uses 2 and 1/4 cups of ravens for every half cup of peanuts when making a snack mix how many cups of raisins does Kevin use for 1 cup of peanuts show work

Answer 1

Answer:

For 1 cup of peanut Kevin will use $\frac{9}{2} \ cups \ \ \ OR \ \ \ 4\frac{1}{2} \ cups$ of raisins.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$\frac{1}{2}$ cups of peanuts = $2\frac{1}{4}$ cups of raisin

$2\frac{1}{4}$  can be rewritten as $\frac{9}{4}$

$\frac{1}{2}$ cups of peanuts = $\frac{9}{4}$ cups of raisin

We need to find number of cups of raisins used in 1 cup of peanut.

Solution:

Now we know that;

$\frac{1}{2}$ cups of peanuts = $\frac{9}{4}$ cups of raisin

So 1 cup of peanut = number of cups of raisins used in 1 cup of peanut

Now by using Unitary method we get;

number of cups of raisins used in 1 cup of peanut = $\frac{\frac{9}{4}}{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{9}{4}\times \frac{2}{1} = \frac{9}{2} \ cup \ \ \ OR \ \ \ 4\frac{1}{2} \ cup$

Hence For 1 cup of peanut Kevin will use $\frac{9}{2} \ cups \ \ \ OR \ \ \ 4\frac{1}{2} \ cups$ of raisins.
