Mr. Conrad's pecan pie recipe calls for 1 3/4 cups of pecans. He plans to make 6 pies for his family reunion. How many cups of pecans will Mr. Conrad need
According to my calculations the answer is 19.5 or 19.50 you can pick either one but your teacher will probably want the first.
\(1 \frac{3}{4}\) x 6 (or \(\frac{6}{1}\)
Change 1 3/4 to an improper fraction = \(\frac{7}{4}\)
\(\frac{7}{4}\) x\(\frac{6}{1}\) = \(\frac{42}{4}\) = 10 \(\frac{2}{4}\) cups
Reduce the answer and get 10 \(\frac{1}{2}\) cups
