Question

Tim 2/3 of 1 3/4 cups of flower with sugar and butter what fraction of the flower did he use

Answer 1

2/3 of 1¾ is simply their product, let's firstly convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction.

`\bf \stackrel{mixed}{1(3)/(4)}\implies \cfrac{1\cdot 4+3}{4}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{7}{4}} \\\\\\ \cfrac{2}{3}\cdot \cfrac{7}{4}\implies \cfrac{2}{4}\cdot \cfrac{7}{3}\implies \cfrac{1}{2}\cdot \cfrac{7}{3}\implies \cfrac{7}{6}\implies 1(1)/(6)`
