You are measuring walnuts for banana-walnut oatmeal and a spinach and walnut salad. You need 3/8 cup of walnuts for the oatmeal and 3/4 for the salad. you have a 1/4-cup scoop. Describe two different ways to find how many scoops of walnuts you will need.
Use the 1/4 scoop three times for the salad. Use the 1/4 scoops three times, each time only fill half the scoop for the oatmeal.
Answer:
4.5
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that you are measuring walnuts for banana walnut oatmeal and a spinach and walnut salad.
You need walnuts for the oatmeal =\(\frac{3}{8}\) cup
You need salad=\(\frac{3}{4}\)
You have scoop=\(\frac{1}{4}\) cup
We have to describe two different ways in which you find number of scoops of walnuts you will need.
1. Total walnut =\(\frac{3}{8}+\frac{3}{4}=\frac{3+6}{8}=\frac{9}{8}\) cup
\(\frac{1}{4}\) cup =1 scoop
1 cup = 4 scoop
\(\frac{9}{8} cup =4\times \frac{9}{8}=\)4.5 scoop
2.Number of scoop of oatmeal =\(4\times \frac{3}{8}=1.5\)
Number of scoop of salad =\(\frac{3}{4}\times 4\)=3
Total number of scoops =1.5+3=4.5
