Question

A salad dressing recipe uses 1.5 cups of olive oil per batch and 0.75 cup of vinegar per batch. Eden makes 3 1/2 batches of the salad dressing. Part A How many cups of salad dressing does Eden make?

Answer 1

Answer:

7.875 cups of salad dressing (round if necessary)

Step-by-step explanation:

For one batch of salad dressing we need to add the 1.5 cups of olive oil and .75 cups which equals 2.25 cups in total for 1 batch of salad dressing.

In order to find the amount of cups for 3 1/2 batches we need to multiply. If you have trouble with fractions feel free to convert 3 1/2 to 3.5. When 3.5 is multiplied with 2.25 we get 7.875 cups.

Hope this helps!
