Answer 1

Mr.Mcfall uses 2 1/2 cups of peanuts for every cup 1/2 of chocolate chips in a mixture.

$\text{ }\frac{1}{2}\text{ cups of chocolate is used in = 2}\frac{1}{2}\text{ cups of peanuts}$

Then for 1 cup of chocolate chips, Divide the 2 1/2 by 1/2 :

$\begin{gathered} \text{ 1 cup of chocolate chips }=\text{ }2\frac{1}{2}\text{ }\div\text{ }\frac{1}{2}\text{ cups of peanuts} \\ Simplify\text{ : }2\frac{1}{2}\text{ }\div\text{ }\frac{1}{2} \\ \text{ }2\frac{1}{2}\text{ }\div\text{ }\frac{1}{2}=\text{ }2\frac{1}{2}\text{ }\times\frac{2}{1} \\ \text{ Simplify the mixed fraction 2}\frac{1}{2}=\frac{2\times2+1}{2} \\ \text{ 2}\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{2} \\ So,\text{ expression will be :} \\ 2\frac{1}{2}\text{ }\div\text{ }\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{2}\times\frac{2}{1} \\ 2\frac{1}{2}\text{ }\div\text{ }\frac{1}{2}=5 \\ \text{1 cup of chocolate chips }=5\text{cups of peanuts} \end{gathered}$
