Alex and payton each have a favorite pancake recipe. Alexs recipe uses 7 1/2 cups of flour for 5 batches, paytons recipe uses 3/4s cup of flour more per batch than alexs recipe ises for batch. What expression can be used to determine the number of cups of flour used to make z batches of paytons pancake recipe

Answer 1

Answer:

9/4z cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Alex recipe uses 7 1/2 cups of flour for 5 batches

Cups of flour per batch = 7 1/2 cups ÷ 5 batches

= 15/2 ÷ 5

= 15/2 × 1/5

= (15*1)/(2*5)

= 15/10

Alex recipe per batch= 3/2 cups of flour per batch

paytons recipe uses 3/4 cup of flour more per batch than alexs recipe

Payton's recipe per batch = Alex recipe per batch + 3/4 cups

= 3/2 + 3/4

= (6+3)/4

= 9/4 cups of flour

Payton's recipe per batch = 9/4 cups of flour

What expression can be used to determine the number of cups of flour used to make z batches of paytons pancake recipe

Payton's recipe for z batches = Payton's recipe per batch * number of batches

= 9/4 cups * z batches

= 9/4z cups

Payton's recipe for z batches = 9/4z cups
