3. Edward’s recipe for salad uses a ratio of 2 1/4 cups of lettuce to 1/2 lb of tomatoes.
(a) Use a complex fraction to compare the amount of lettuce to the amount of tomatoes.
(b) Determine how many cups of lettuce Edward needs to mix with 1 lb of tomatoes. Show your work.

Answer 1

a)
`(2 (1)/(4))/( (1)/(2))`
b)
`(1)/(2)` • 2 = 1
so
`(9)/(4)` • 2 =
`(9)/(2)` cups (which is
`4 (1)/(2)` )
