Question

A recipe requires 1/4 of a cup of cranberries for 1 batch of scones how many batches of scones can be made using 6 1/2

Answer 1

Answer:

26

Step-by-step explanation:

If 1/4 of a cup of cranberries and make 1 batch, and there are four 1/4 cups in a whole cup, then 1 cup of cranberries can make 4 batches of scones.

By that same logic, there are two 1/4 cups in 1/2 a cup, so 1/2 cup of cranberries can make 2 batches of scones.

So, with the knowledge that 1 cup of cranberries makes 4 batches of scones, 6 cups of cranberries can make 6 x 4 = 24 batches, and adding on 1/2 cup gives us 2 more batches for a total of 24 + 2 = 26 batches.

Answer 2

Answer:

26

Step-by-step explanation:

6 times 4 =24 then 4/1 times 1/2 = 4/2 equals 2 and then you add 2 to 24 and that is 26.
