Amy is baking her famous pies to sell at the Town Fall Festival. She uses 32 ¼ cups of flour for every 1 ½ batches of pie that she makes. How many cups of flour would Amy use for 7 batches of pie?

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

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

step-by-step explanation:

hans did not square the 40-unit side; he merely multiplied it by 2.   incorrect.

y=3n + 1

step-by-step explanation:

this is wrong because it says the second number is one less and i added one instead
