Question

Can someone explain this to me

Caleb and Maddie are using their grandma’s oatmeal raisin cookie recipe. The recipe calls for 2 cups of flour for every 3 cups of oatmeal.

Caleb only has 1 1/2 cups of flour. How many cups of oatmeal should he use to follow the recipe correctly?

Answer 1

2.25 or 2 and 1/4 cups oatmeal.
