Question

Kristen used 3 1/4 cups of flour per batch of cookies. If Kristen made 5 batches of cookies, how much flour did she use?

Answer 1

To find out how much flour Kristen used in total, we can start by multiplying the amount of flour per batch by the number of batches.

First, we need to convert the mixed number 3 1/4 to an improper fraction, which is 13/4.

So, the amount of flour per batch is 13/4 cups.

To find out how much flour Kristen used in total for 5 batches of cookies, we can multiply the amount of flour per batch by the number of batches:

13/4 cups per batch x 5 batches = 65/4 cups

We can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 5, which gives us:

65/4 ÷ 5/1 = 13/4 ÷ 1/1 = 13/4 cups

Therefore, Kristen used 13 and 1/4 cups of flour in total for 5 batches of cookies.

Answer 2

5 × 3.25 (3 1/4)=16.25 (16 1/4)

Explanation:

If each batch requires 3 1/4 cups, and she bakes it repeatedly 5 times, then you multiply 3 1/4 by 5 to get 16 1/4.

The answer is 16 1/4 cups of flour she will use.
