Answer:
If Kristen were to make 4 batches, and each batch requires 2 cups of flour, how many cups of flour would she need? To solve this question, we would just multiply 4 by 2, which gives us a final product of 8.
Similarly, in this question, if one batch requires 1 3/4 cups of flour and Kristen wants to bake 3 1/2 batches, she would need 1 3/4 x 3 1/2 cups of flour.
1 3/4 can be rewritten as an improper fraction- 7/4.
3 1/2 can also be rewritten as an improper fraction- 7/2.
Multiplying 7/4 and 7/2, we obtain a final product of 49/8, or 6 1/8.
This means, Kristen will need 6 1/8 cups of flour to make 3 1/2 batches, and her belief that she needs 3 3/8 cups of flour is wrong, as she needs a lot more than that.
Hope this helps!
1. Start by identifying what the question wants so we are looking for miles per 1 gallon.
2. Set up a statement. When the word “per” is being used it relates to a fraction or a ratio. In this question we need to find how many miles a single gallon will give us. So set it up as miles/gallons
3. Plug in your numbers. Now our statement is 13 miles/15 gallons
4. Calculate. So do 13/15 which equals 0.86 miles per 1 gallon.
Tip: always add in words into your calculations. Mainly the units you are using so you can quickly look and know what the units will be. This will help you in upper placement math as well
Area=basexhigh so, Area= 6x3 , so answer will be 18
I believe the answer is ‘1’ :)
