Question

beau's recipe for granola bars calls for 3 1/2 cups of oatmeal. he only has a 1/6 cup scoop. how many scoops of oatmeal will he need for the recipe.

Answer 1

21 scoops of oatmeal

Explanation:

1. each full cup of oatmeal requires 6 scoops since 6 X 1/6 = 6/6 or 1 full cup.

2. he needs 3 cups, so 3X6 = 18

3. he needs three 1/6 scoops (3X 1/6 = 3/6 which is equal to 1/2)

4. 18 + 3 = 21
