Answer:

6

Explanation:

One recipe uses 1/4 cup of red onions.

They have 1 1/2 cups of red onions.

We need to divide 1 1/2 by 1/4.

First, we convert the mixed numeral into a fraction. Then, to divide by a fraction, we multiply by the reciprocal of the fraction.


1 (1)/(2) / (1)/(4) =


= (1 * 2 + 1)/(2) / (1)/(4)


= (3)/(2) * (4)/(1)


= (12)/(2)


= 6
