Answer:
1 5/9 OR 14/9
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to find out what the question is asking. How much sugar will she need if she wants to make 2 1/3 batches?
Next, we must see if we need to divide, subtract, multiply, or add. We need to divide.
2 1/3 divided by 1 1/2
Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions: 2 1/3=7/3 1 1/3=3/2
Apply the fraction rule a/b/c/d=a*d/b*c: 7*2/3*3
14/9 OR 1 5/9
Your subtracting 3x from 5x: 5x-3x
This is so you only have a variable on one side
