A recipe for chocolate chip cookies calls for 1 1/4 cups of flour. If you are making 2 2/3 recipes, how many cups of flour are needed? (Simplify your answer. Type a whole number, reaction, or mixed number.)

2 2/3 cups of flour

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question you need to multiply 1 1/4 by 2 2/3

To multiply first make each mixed number an improper fraction

This means multiplying the whole number by the denominator, then adding the numerator

For example 1 1/4 would become 5/4 because 4 x 1 = 4 and 4 + 1 = 5, & 2 2/3 would be 8/3

Now multiply the numerator and denominator (5/4 x 8/3)

30/12 simplified to 8/3 (2 2/3)

36/60

36/2=18

60/2=30

18/30

18/3=6

30/3=10

6/10

6/2=3

10/2=5

your final answer would be 3/5 of an

hope this !
