Question

Go math I need help with number 13 on page 421

Answer 1

The recipe calls for 2 2/4 cups, but julie only has 1/4 cups. We need to divide the number of cups needed for the recipe by 1/4. The first step we need to take is to convert the mixed fraction to an improper one. This is done below:

`2(2)/(4)=2+(2)/(4)=(8)/(4)+(2)/(4)=(10)/(4)`

Now we can divide them:

`((10)/(4))/((1)/(4))=(10)/(4)\cdot(4)/(1)=10`

She will need to use 10 of her measuring cups.
