Answer 1

20.25

Explanation:

divide 4 1/2 by 2 bc its only asking you to make half the recipe so you don't need more than half the chicken

Answer 2

Probably 2 1/4 pounds or 2.25

If the recipe calls for 4 1/2 pounds of chicken and you need to half it, it's pretty simple to figure out:

4 divided by 2 = 2 and 1/2 divided by 2 = 1/4
