Answer 2

Hi there!

• Covert 1
`\frac {1}{2}` into normal fraction.
Cuz' following quantity, 1
`\frac {1}{2}` is in the form of mixed fraction.

∴ 1
`\frac {1}{2}` =
`\frac {3}{2}`

Accr'ding to the question :-

A recipe for one batch calls
`\frac {3}{2}` cups of flour.

∵ 1 batch needs =
`\frac {3}{2}` cups of flour

Multiply 3 to both th' sides :-

3 × 1 batch needs = 3 ×
`\frac {3}{2}` cups of flour

∴ 3 batchs needs =
`\frac {9}{2}` Or 4
`\frac {1}{2}` cups of flour.
