Question

Meagan wants to make 2 1/3 batches of muffins. The recipe calls for 1 1/2 cups of sugar per batch. How much sugar will she need?

Answer 1

1 5/9 OR 14/9

Explanation:

First we need to find out what the question is asking. How much sugar will she need if she wants to make 2 1/3 batches?

Next, we must see if we need to divide, subtract, multiply, or add. We need to divide.

2 1/3 divided by 1 1/2

Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions: 2 1/3=7/3 1 1/3=3/2

Apply the fraction rule a/b/c/d=a*d/b*c: 7*2/3*3

14/9 OR 1 5/9
