Question

One batch of walnut muffins use 1 1/3 cups of walnuts.How many cups of walnuts are needed to 3 3/4 batches of muffins, answers are only 5 cups, 3 3/12 cups, 5 1/12 cups, and 4 cups, there are no 3 1/4 cups

Answer 1

5 cups

Explanation:

Let us set it up as a fraction.

`((11)/(3))/(1)=3((3)/(4))/(x)`

Step 1: Divide the given values

`(11)/(3)/ 1 \\\\=(11)/(3)`

Step 2: Multiply the result by the other value

`3(3)/(4) \\\\3(3)/(4) * (11)/(3)\\\\= 13(1)/(4)`

So, with this solution, the answer is
`13(1)/(4)`. However, the answer isn't included in the options provided, so that means the answer is 5 cups.
