Adrian recipe
for raisin muffin calls for one and three fourth cups raisins for one batch of muffins adrian wants to make 2 1/2 batches of the muffins for a bake sale how many cups of raisins will adrian use

1 3/4 for each batch to make 2 1/2 batches you need to take the amount of raisins for one batch 1 3/4 and multiply it by 2 1/2 the amount of batches.

1 3/4*2 1/2= 4 3/8 cups of raisins

Adrian will need: 1 and 3/7 cups of raisins 

1)Divide 2 and 1/2 by 1 and 3/4 
2)You make both fractions improper fractions 
=2 and 1/2= 5/2
=one and 3/4= 7/4
3)Use the rule KCF K=Keep C=Change F=Flip 
4)Keep= 5/2
5)Change= * becomes a divide sign
6)Flip=7/4 becomes 4/7
7)Multiply across 
=5*4=20
=2*7=14
=20 over 14
8)Change 20 over 14 into a mixed fraction 
9)Divide 10 by 7
=1 with the remainder of 3 
10)1 is the whole number 3 is the numerator and 7 is the denominator 

Skew lines(segments) are lines(segments) in 3 dimensions that do not intersect the given segment and are not parallel to it.  ae, bf, eg, and fh are your skew segments.  i hope that : )
