Answer:

[tex]8\frac{1}{8}[/tex] L

Step-by-step explanation:

A recipe of chicken soup calls for chicken stocks = [tex]2\frac{1}{2}[/tex] L

Josh makes [tex]3\frac{1}{4}[/tex] times the recipe

= [tex]3\frac{1}{4}[/tex] × [tex]2\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{13}{4}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{65}{8}[/tex]

= [tex]8\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

Josh would use [tex]8\frac{1}{8}[/tex] L of chicken stocks.
