Answer: 1 3/4 × 1 1/2
Explanation:
Since Harry needs 1 3/4 cups of flour for one batch of cookies, but he wants to make 1 1/2 batches, the equation that can be used to find how many cups of flour Harry will need will be:
= (1 3/4 / 1) × 1 1/2
= 1 3/4 × 1 1/2
Therefore, to make 1 1/2 batches, the cups of flour needed will be:
= 1 3/4 × 1 1/2
= 7/4 × 3/2
= 21/8
= 2 5/8 cups of flours.
