Question

A recipe for 1 batch of cookies calls for 1 1/2 cups for flour. How many cups are needed for 3 batches.

Answer 1

Answer:

4 1/2 cups are needed to bake 3 batches

Answer 2

Answer:

4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

therefore to find number of cups for three batches we simply multiply 1 1/2 into 3.

so we should first convert 1 1/2 to an improper fraction:

doing do we get 3/2.

so now we multiply 3/2 with 3, which gives us 4.5 cups of flour
