Question

A recipe calls for 1 part beans to 1-1/2 parts rice. If 1-1/2 parts of beans are used how much rice should be used

Answer 1

I think the answer is 2 parts rice. If you added half to the beans, do it to the rice too.

Answer 2

`2(1)/(4)` part of rice should be used.

Explanation:

A recipe calls for 1 part beans to
`1(1)/(2)` part rice.

If
`1(1)/(2)` parts of beans used,

rice should be =
`1(1)/(2)` ×
`1(1)/(2)`

=
`(3)/(2)` ×
`(3)/(2)`

=
`(9)/(4)`

=
`2(1)/(4)` part or 2.25 parts rice

`2(1)/(4)` part of rice should be used.
