Equation: (1 2/3)(2 1/3) = x
Answer: 3 8/9 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
x represents the amount of flour she will need in cups.
To solve, convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions and multiply...
1 2/3 becomes 5/3
2 1/3 becomes 7/3
Now we have
(5/3)(7/3) = x
35/9 = x
35/9 is 3 8/9 as a mixed number
