A brownie requires 1 3/4 cups of flour.

Question

Stella wants to make 3 times the recipe. How much flour will she use? If each cup of flour weighs 4 1/2 ounces, what is the weight of the flour she will use?

Answer 1

Hi Vi from Pomona, CA...hope you had a great day at school.

Great word problem.

So...its asking you to triple to recipe to solve the problem. Which means what? Multiplying each of the values times....? 3

Hint: I'll set up the first problem  3( 1 3/4)

First of all: ( 1 3/4) is a mixed fraction, will need to change to an improper fraction.

You will need to proceed with multiplication of fractions.
