Answer:
[tex]n = 5\frac{10}{13}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Call = 6\frac{1}{2}[/tex] cups
[tex]Recipe = 37\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ounce
Required
Number of ounces per cup (n)
To do this, we simply divide the Recipe by the call
So, we have:
[tex]n = \frac{Recipe}{Call}[/tex]
[tex]n = 37\frac{1}{2} \div 6\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Express as improper fraction
[tex]n = \frac{75}{2} \div \frac{13}{2}[/tex]
Rewrite as:
[tex]n = \frac{75}{2} * \frac{2}{13}[/tex]
[tex]n = \frac{75}{13}[/tex]
[tex]n = 5\frac{10}{13}[/tex]
