Question

44. lucas made 2.5 batches of cookies for a bake sale and used 3.75 cups of sugar. how much sugar is needed for one batch of cookies?

46.the denominator of a fraction is 4 more then the numerator. if both the numerator and denominator are increased by 1, the resulting fraction equals 1/2. find the original fraction

Answer 1

4 cups of sugar

Answer 2

2.5 batches / 3.75 cups sugar = 1 batches / X cups sugar.

solve for X

2.5X = 3.75(1)
x = 1.5 cups sugar

Answer 3

cutiepie, you have to think about whether your answer makes sense. if we want fewer cookies (1 batch rather than 2.5 batches) then we should need LESS sugar, not more.

Answer 4
