What is the average change in the amount of flour, in ounces , used int the 3 recipes? After recipe 1 -2 after recipe 2 -3 1/2 after recipe 3 -4 1/2

Answer 1

Answer:

1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Recipe     Changes Cumulative       Changes

1                   2                                      2

2                  3 1/2  = 3.5                      1.5

3                  4 1/2  = 4.5                      1

Total Changes = 2 + 1.5 + 1 = 4.5

Total Recipes = 3

Average Change per recipe =  Total Changes/Total number of receipes

= 4.5/3

= 1.5
