I am cooking a recipe. It requires 7/2 of sugar. I only have a 1⁄4 cup to measure the sugar with. How many quarter cups would I need to measure the correct amount of

Respuesta :

Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert [tex]\frac{7}{2}[/tex] to a fraction with a common denominator

[tex]\frac{7}{2} (\frac{2}{2} )=\frac{14}{4}[/tex]

You now divide the fractions to find the amount of correct measurements needed.

[tex]\frac{\frac{14}{4} }{\frac{1}{4} }[/tex] For dividing by a fraction it is the same a multiplying by its reciprocal.

This becomes [tex]\frac{14}{4} (\frac{4}{1} )=\frac{14}{4} (4)=14[/tex]

You will need 14 correct measurements.
