Answer :
Answer:
150-1/2 (150.5) cups of flour
Step-by-step explanation:
We know there is a ratio of 32.25 / 1.5 (32-1/4 cups of flour for every 1 1/2 batches of pie that she makes). X is the unknown (as we are trying to solve for flour) so we can set up the problem as such:
32.25 = x
1.5 7
Now we cross multiply to solve:
1.5(x) = 7(32.25)
1.5x = 225.75 -- Simplify then divide both sides by x (to isolate the variable)
x = 150.5
Answer: She uses 32 ¼ cups of flour for every 1 ½ batches of pie
Let’s make it into whole numbers to start…
She uses 64 ½ cups of flour for every 3 batches of pie
She uses 129 cups of flour for every 6 batches of pie
She uses 129/6 cups of flour for every 1 batch of pie
She uses 7 x 129/6 cups of flour for every 7 batches of pie
= 150 ½ cups of flour
