A granola recipe calls for 2 1/3 cup of almonds.
A bag of almonds has 2 cups.
To make 2 1/2 batches of granola, Ali buys 5 bags of almonds.
How many cups of almonds will he have left over?
Answer
yeah, ok. so what's the answer to their question?
2 1/2 * 2 1/3 = 5 5/6
how many cups in 5 bags?
10 cups
4 1/6 cups of almonds remaining.
To find out how many cups of almonds Ali will have left over, we need to calculate the total amount of almonds required and then subtract it from the amount of almonds Ali bought.
1. First, let's calculate how many cups of almonds are needed for 2 1/2 batches of granola.
- The recipe asks for 2 1/3 cups of almonds for a single batch.
- To calculate the amount of almonds needed for 2 1/2 batches, we need to multiply 2 1/3 by 2.5 (since 2 1/2 is equivalent to 2.5).
- Multiplying 2 1/3 by 2.5, we get: (2 1/3) * 2.5 = 5 5/6 cups.
2. Next, let's calculate the total amount of almonds Ali bought.
- Ali bought 5 bags of almonds.
- Each bag contains 2 cups of almonds.
- Multiplying the number of bags by the number of cups per bag, we get: 5 * 2 = 10 cups.
3. Finally, let's calculate the amount of almonds that Ali will have left over.
- To find the remaining amount of almonds, we need to subtract the amount of almonds required from the amount Ali bought.
- Subtracting 5 5/6 cups from 10 cups, we get: 10 - 5 5/6 = 4 1/6 cups.
Therefore, Ali will have 4 1/6 cups of almonds left over.
