Juanita is making bread. She needs 3 1/2 cups of flour. Juanita only has a 1/4 cup measuring cup. How many 1/4 cups of flour will Juanita use to prepare the bread?
3.5/.25 = ?
Not in decimals or anything just how many
just divide 3.5/.25 and it eqal 14 by the way WHY DONT YOU TRY DOING THE MATH FIRST🙄 Brileigh
To find out how many 1/4 cups of flour Juanita will use, we need to divide the total amount of flour needed (3 1/2 cups) by the size of the measuring cup (1/4 cup).
First, let's convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.
3 1/2 = 7/2
Now, divide the total amount of flour needed by the size of the measuring cup.
7/2 ÷ 1/4 = 7/2 × 4/1
= 7 × 4 / 2 × 1
= 28/2
= 14
So, Juanita will use 14 1/4 cups of flour to prepare the bread.
