Question

Mini made a recipe that yields 4 and 1 over 2 cups. If each serving is 1 over 2 cup, which expression will help Mini determine the number of servings her recipe will yield?

Answer 1

1/2x = 4 1/2

Where x = Number of servings = 9 servings

Explanation:

Mini made a recipe that yields 4 and 1 over 2 cups.

1 recipe = 4 1/2 cups

1 serving = 1/2 cups

1/2 cups = 1 servings

4 1/2 cups = x servings

Cross Multiply

1/2 × x = 4 1/2

x = 4 1/2 ÷ 1/2

x = 9/2 ÷ 1/2

x = 9/2 × 2

x = 9 servings.

Therefore, the expression tha will help Mini to determine the number of servings her recipe will yield is

1/2x = 4 1/2

Where x = Number of servings = 9 servings
