MRS.Bonnette's recipe for banana bread calls for 3 and one fourths cups of sugar. She wants to make 6.5 batches so that she has enough for everyone. How much sugar will she need

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]21/ \frac {1}{8}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we're given that a batch requires 3 and one fourths cups of sugar, this is written as

[tex]3/ \frac {1}{4}[/tex]

If she wants 6.5 batches then we just cross multiply

1 batch=[tex]3/ \frac {1}{4}[/tex]

6.5 batches=x

X=[tex]6.5\times 3/ \frac {1}{4}[/tex]

X=[tex]6/ \frac {1}{2}\times 3/ \frac {1}{4}[/tex]

X=[tex]\frac {13}{2}\times \frac {13}{4}[/tex]

X=[tex]\frac {169}{8}[/tex]

X=[tex]21/ \frac {1}{8}[/tex]
