Jamal is baking sugar cookies. The recipe calls for 1 1/2 cups of sugar and 2 3/4 cups of flour. Jamal only has a 1/2 -cup measuring scoop. How many scoops will he have to use for the sugar and flour?
To find the number of scoops for the sugar, divide the amount of sugar needed by the amount the scoop can hold: 1 1/2 cups / 1/2 cup/scoop = <<1.5/(1/2)=3>>3 scoops
To find the number of scoops for the flour, divide the amount of flour needed by the amount the scoop can hold: 2 3/4 cups / 1/2 cup/scoop = <<2.75/(1/2)=5.5>>5.5 scoops. Answer: \boxed{3, 5.5}.
