Question

Beau's recipe for granola bars calls for 3 1/2 cups of oatmeal. He only has a 1/6 cup scoop. How many scoops of oatmeal will he need to complete the recipe?

Answer 1

Hi there!

To solve this problem, we need to divide:

3 1/2 / 1/6 = 21

There are 21 scoops needed in order to complete the recipe. 

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

Beau will need 21 scoops of oatmeal to complete his recipe.

Step-by-step explanation:

The recipe needs $3\frac{1}{2}$ = $\frac{7}{2}$ cups of oatmeal.

Beau has only $\frac{1}{6}$ scoop of oatmeal.

So, number of scoops of oatmeal needed to complete the recipe =

$\frac{\frac{7}{2} }{\frac{1}{6} }$

= $\frac{7}{2}\times \frac{6}{1}$

= 21

Hence, the answer is 21 scoops.
