Question

Jacqueline is baking a cake for her mom's birthday. The recipe calls for 2 cups of flour every 3 3/4 cups of water. Rewrite 3 3/4 cups of water as a decimal

Answer 1

3.75

Explanation:

multiply the mixed number at the front by 4, add that to the 3 in the numerator: 15/4

multiply the fraction by 25/25 to get it out of 100 and so not as to change the original fraction

375/100

simplify

3.75

this explanation was a little complicated so I apologize

you could also keep the mixed number at the front the same and repeat the 25/25 process with the 3/4
