Question

Can someone help me with this? I need an equation and the cup of nuts. It’s due tmr

Answer 1

Explanation:

I assume that the amount of peanut butter chips in original recipe is
`1(1)/(2)` c (the picture isn't clear!)

2(
`1(1)/(2)` + x ) =
`4(1)/(2)`

`1(1)/(2)` + x =
`4(1)/(2)` ÷ 2

`1(1)/(2)` + x =
`2(1)/(4)`

x =
`2(1)/(4)` -
`1(1)/(2)` =
`1(5)/(4)` -
`1(2)/(4)` =
`(3)/(4)`

There is
`(3)/(4)` of a cup of nuts in original recipe.
