Answer 2

Answer: Taylor will need 3/8 cups of raisins for each batch of granola bars.

Explanation:

The correct measure is 3/4 of a cup of raisins for 2 batches of granola bars.

So, to answer this question we have to use equivalent fractions:

Since the recipe calls for 3/4 of a cup of raisins for 2 batches of granola bars, the fraction is: (3/4) of a cup/2 batches; (3/4)/2

For one batch: x of a cup /1 batch; x/1

Where x is the number of cups needed for 1 batch.

Since the fractions are equivalent:

(3/4) /2 = x / 1

Solving for x

3/8 (1) = x

x = 3/8 of a cup
