Answer 31

Basically think of it like money.... Pretend we have $1 and you want to split it by 2 that would equal 50 cents since....50 + 50 equals $1.... So 50 is one-half of a dollar.... Now how many quarters make up $1?

Answer 32

4

Answer 33

Correct so 4 quarters make up $1...So if we have 25 cents then we have 1/4 of a dollar...do you get that?

Answer 34

yes she does

Answer 35

Great ^^ Now if we add 25 plus 25 which is 1/ 4 plus 1/4 that would equal what?

Answer 36

@alibaby

Answer 37

0.5

Answer 38

Correct ^^ that would be 1/2 so she will be able to make two batches of brownies....do you understand how we found that answer?

Answer 39

she dosent

Answer 40

Thats alright ^^ lets try a different approach....instead of brownies we will use money (kind of)....

Now we know that 1/4 or .25 makes one batch of brownies....So we use 25 cents of one dollar....

Now we have 1/2 or .5 which can make a ___ batch of brownies.... So we have 50 cents of one dollar ourselves.....

Now how many quaters are needed to make 50 cents?

Answer 41

25 + 25

Answer 42

Correct! So that is what we are doing adding 1/4 and 1/4 to equal 1/2 so that would mean we would be able to make 2 batches of brownies since we have .5 ourselves and use .25 to make one batch of brownies....do u get a lil better?

Answer 43

yayyy thankyou she has 4 more

Answer 44

Im sorry but I got to go....good luck...
