Question

Eddie needs 2 2/3 cups of flour for one batch of cupcakes. How much flour does he need for 2 1/2 batches?

Answer 1

1 batch of pancake = 2 2/3 = 8/3 cups

for 2 1/2 = 5/2 pancake = 8/3 * 5/2 = 40/6 cups = 6 2/3 cups

Answer 2

`6(2)/(3) cups`

Explanation:

In order to solve this you just need to multply the amount of cups of flour that Eddie needs per batch by the number of batches that he is planning to make:

`2(2)/(3) *2(1)/(2)\\(8)/(3) * (5)/(2)\\(40)/(6)\\ 6(4)/(6)\\ 6(2)/(3)`

So now we know that in order to make 2 1/2 batches if cupcakes Eddie will need 6 2/3 of flour.
