Question

Paolo is using his grandmother's breakfast bar recipe. He always doubles

Answer 1

Answer:

$6\frac{1}{3}$ = $2\frac{1}{2}$ * 2 + $\frac{x}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

lets start with what we know.

the recipe calls for 2 $\frac{1}{2}$ cups of yogurt. and Paolo doubles the recipe. so multiply the recipe for yogurt by 2

2 $\frac{1}{2}$ * 2 = 5 cups of yogurt.

the total of yogurt and oats is $6\frac{1}{3}$ and we know how much yogurt we have so we subtract that from the total of both.

$6\frac{1}{3}$ - 5 = $1\frac{1}{3}$

the oats after doubling were $1\frac{1}{3}$ cups so u divide it by 2

$1\frac{1}{3}$ / 2 = $\frac{2}{3}$ before doubling
