Question

Teresa's sugar cookie recipe calls for 2 1/3 cups of sugar. How much

Answer 1

Answer:

Hi, so one batch of the sugar cookie recipe calls for 2 1/3 cups of sugar. SO to make 2 1/2 batches you would have to first multiply 2 1/3 times 2, to get 4 2/3. then split 2 1/3 in half for the other half of the recipe. that would be 1 1/6. then add 1 1/6 plus 4 2/3 to get your answer of 6 cups of sugar.

Answer 2

Answer:

5 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply 2 1/3 by 2 1/2.  The easiest way (?!) is to change both mixed numbers to improper fractions (I dislike that name! It just means a numerator bigger than the denominator).

2 1/3 Multiply the denominator 3 by the whole number 2, add the numerator 1 to get 6+1 = 7.  Place that over the denominator, 3.  So 2 1/3 = 7/3.

2 1/2 Multiply the denominator 2 by the whole number 2, add the numerator 1 to get 4+1=5.  Place that over the denominator, 2.  So 2 1/2 = 5/2.

Multiply 7/3 by 5/2.

$\frac{5}{2} \cdot \frac{7}{3}=\frac{35}{6}$

Finally, convert the improper fractioin 35/6 to a mixed number by dividing 35 by 6 (6 goes into 35 5 whole times with 5 "left over").  The whole number part is 5 and the left over fraction part is 5/6.

5 5/6
