Harry is making cookies. He needs 1 3/4 cups of flour for one batch, but he wants to make 1 1/2 batches. Write an equation that can be used to find how many cups of flour Harry will need.

1 3/4 × 1 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Harry needs 1 3/4 cups of flour for one batch of cookies, but he wants to make 1 1/2 batches, the equation that can be used to find how many cups of flour Harry will need will be:

= (1 3/4 / 1) × 1 1/2

= 1 3/4 × 1 1/2

Therefore, to make 1 1/2 batches, the cups of flour needed will be:

= 1 3/4 × 1 1/2

= 7/4 × 3/2

= 21/8

= 2 5/8 cups of flours.

you can simplify rations just like you simplify fractions. Whenever you are able to evenly divide both parts of the ratio with out changing the equation's answer, you are able to.

for example

if it were 3:6, you can simplify this by dividing these both by 3, leaving you with 1:2.
