Question

Beth divided 9 ounces of her granola recipe into 4 equal-sized amounts. She placed the amounts into individual bowls. The fraction  represents the number of ounces of granola in each bowl. Which other number represents the amount of granola Beth has in each bowl?

Answer 1

One bowl = 9 ounces

4 bowl = 9/4 (Then division)

= 2 1/4 (Fraction to Decimal)

= 2.25

The answer is 2 1/4 or 2.25ounces placed in each bowl.

Answer 2

Well simply put your answer is 2 and 1/4 ounces of granola

But how did we get there is the important part

9 ounces of granola we had to begin with , 4 bowls to divide that into

If we represent that as a fraction we're left with 9/4 , "nine fourths" , 9 divided by 4.

We can use 9/4 to represent how much granola is each bowl but it's much cleaner and more appropriate to convert it to a mixed number 2 1/4 , "two and one fourth". With this number we have our answer 9/4, 2 1/4 or 2.25 ounces of granola divided among the 4 bowls.
