HI!!

misty1212 · Answer

amount of nuts to one pound of fudge is $4\tfrac{1}{2}$ to $\frac{1}{2}$

misty1212 · Answer

oops i meant $$4\tfrac{1}{4}:\frac{1}{2}$$

misty1212 · Answer

as a complex fraction that is $$\huge \frac{4\tfrac{1}{4}}{\frac{1}{2}}$$

misty1212 · Answer

dividing by one half is the same as multiplying by two, so to finish multiply $$2\times 4\tfrac{1}{4}$$
