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
