Answer:
Step-by-step explanation: write the equation in the form of a proportion
2 1/2 is to 4 as something is to 3
2 1/2 / 4 = x/3
Then, cross multiply 2 1/2 x 3 or
5/2 x 3/1 = 15/2
Next cross multiply 4•X= 4X
Write as 4X = 15/2
Divide both sides by 4.
4X/ 4 = 15/2 /4
x = 15/2÷ 4/1
Divide by changing the sign to multiplication and inverting 4/1 to 1/4 like this:. 15/2. × 1/4= 15/8
Finally, 15/8 simplifies to 1 7/8 cups
