Answer 1

Wouldn't you just take out the 1/2?

Answer 2

so it becomes 3 cups equaling to 1 dozen...

Answer 3

It doesn't work that way @LuckyLu

Answer 4

oh fr? my bad

Answer 5

xD

Answer 6

@jabez177

Answer 7

So, for this, I'm pretty sure we have to divide the fractions. Can you do that @alayrhi ?

Answer 8

It's 2 1/3

If we divide, it'll be 2 1/3

Do you want me to explain?

Answer 9

Yeah ^_^

Answer 10

Okay, so... This is a division problem, so we need to flip the fraction

The first fraction needs to be converted to improper form. Plug in the values of the first fraction:

3 × 2 + 1 = 7

Re-writing the first fraction, we get 7/2.

The second fraction needs to be converted to imporper form. Plug in the values of the second fraction:

1 × 2 + 1 = 3

Re-writing the first fraction, we get 3/2.

Answer 11

When we divide fractions, we have to switch the numerator and denominator of the second fraction:

3/2 goes to 2/3

Answer 12

Multiply the numerators together, and multiply the denominators together:

7/2 times 2/3 = 14/6

Answer 13

The fraction 14/6 is not in lowest terms, so we need to reduce it

So, we need to find the largest factor of both numbers 14 and 6

Answer 14

2 is the largest factor of both 14 and 6, so we need to divide both the numerator and denominator by 2.

Numerator: 14 ÷ 2 = 7

Denominator: 6 ÷ 2 = 3

So, it would look like this now

7/3

Answer 15

7/3 is improper because the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator. We need to turn it into a mixed number.

So, we just divide. And then we get 2 1/3
