Answer: 7/5 or 1 2/5
Explanation:
Ok so the bakery uses 3 3/5 cups cups of oats for 2 4/7 POUNDS of cookies.
You need to find the unit price.
So to get from 2 4/7 to 1, you need to divide 2 4/7 by 2 4/7
You need to do the same thing to 3 3/5 cups.
3 3/5 as an improper fraction is 18/5
2 4/7 as an improper fraction is 18/7
Now to divide you need to keep, change, and flip
keep the 18/5, change the sign to multiplycation, and flip the 18/7 to 7/18
18/5*7/18=7/5
7/5 or 1 2/5 pounds of outs are required to make 1 pound of oatmeal cookies
