Question

The cook needs to make the dough for 9 small pizzas. Each pizza dough needs 1 1/3 cup of flour.   How much flour does the cook need to make all the pizza dough? Express your answer is simplest form.

Answer 1

If each pizza dough needs 1
`(1)/(3)`\\
We will need to multiply 9 x 1
`(1)/(3)`\\

we will turn the fraction into a mixed fraction and we'll end up with
`(4)/(3)`\\

We multiply 9 x
`(4)/(3)`
and we end up with
`(36)/(3) = 12`

The cook need 12 cups of flour.
