Answer 1

10.5 is the answer because you do 7 times 1.5

Answer 2

5.25 cups.

Explanation:

We have been given that the chocolate chip cookie recipe you use calls for 1.5 cups of flour. The recipe makes 2 dozen cookies. We are asked to find the cups of flour that are needed to make 7 dozens of cookies.

First of all, we will divide 1.5 cups by 2 to find amount of flour needed for one batch of cookies and multiply the result by 7 as:

`\text{Cups of flour needed for 7 dozen cookies}=(1.5)/(2)* 7`

`\text{Cups of flour needed for 7 dozen cookies}=0.75* 7`

`\text{Cups of flour needed for 7 dozen cookies}=5.25`

Therefore, 5.25 cups of flour are needed for 7 dozen of cookies.
