Question

Mr. Conrad's pecan pie recipe calls for 1 3/4 cups of pecans. He plans to make 6 pies for his family reunion. How many cups of pecans will Mr. Conrad need

Answer 1

`1 (3)/(4)` x 6 (or
`(6)/(1)`

Change 1 3/4 to an improper fraction =
`(7)/(4)`


`(7)/(4)` x
`(6)/(1)` =
`(42)/(4)` = 10
`(2)/(4)` cups
Reduce the answer and get 10
`(1)/(2)` cups

Answer 2

According to my calculations the answer is 19.5 or 19.50 you can pick either one but your teacher will probably want the first.
