Question

Monica’s lemon cookie recipe calls for 3 cups of sugar. How much much to make 4 1/2 Batches of cookies.

Answer 1

Answer:  13 & 1/2 cups of sugar

Whole part = 13

Fractional part = 1/2

===================================================

Explanation:

4 & 1/2 = 4 + 1/2 = 4 + 0.5 = 4.5

1 batch = 3 cups sugar

4.5*(1 batch) = 4.5*(3 cups sugar)

4.5 batches = 13.5 cups of sugar

The decimal number 13.5 converts to the mixed number 13 & 1/2 which is the same as writing 13  1/2
