betty makes pies. To make 6 pies,she uses 7 1?2 cups of flour how much flour is used to make 1 pie

Question



Answer 1

1 and 1/4 cups of floour is used to make one pie. Since 7 and 1/2 cups is used for 6 pies we divide the 7 and 1/2 cups by the 6 pies. 7 and 1/2 cups is equivalent to 15/ 2 cups. 15/2 divided by 6 is equal to 15/2 times 1/6. This comes out to 15/12, which simplifies to 5/4, which is equivalent to 1 and 1/4 cups. Hope this helps.
