Answer:
[tex]2\frac{5}{8} cups = 1\frac{1}{2}\ batches[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]1\frac{3}{4} cups = 1\ batch[/tex]
Required
Number of cups for [tex]1\frac{1}{2}[/tex] batches
[tex]1\frac{3}{4} cups = 1\ batch[/tex]
Multiply both sides by [tex]1\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
[tex]1\frac{1}{2} * 1\frac{3}{4} cups = 1\ batch * 1\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
[tex]1\frac{1}{2} * 1\frac{3}{4} cups = 1\frac{1}{2}\ batches[/tex]
Express fractions as improper fractions
[tex]\frac{3}{2} * \frac{7}{4} cups = 1\frac{1}{2}\ batches[/tex]
[tex]\frac{21}{8} cups = 1\frac{1}{2}\ batches[/tex]
Express fraction as improper fraction
[tex]2\frac{5}{8} cups = 1\frac{1}{2}\ batches[/tex]
