Jeremy ate 1 1/2 tacos at the birthday party. Cecilia ate 2 1/2 times as much as Jeremy.

How many tacos did Cecilia eat?
Express your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

$1 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{2}\\\\2 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{2}\\\\\\\\\frac{3}{2} \times \frac{5}{2} = \frac{3\times 5}{2\times 2} = \huge{\boxed{\frac{15}{4}=3\frac{3}{4}}}$
