Question

A certain laundry detergent recommends \frac{1}{4}

a cup of detergent for a \frac{1}{2}
a load of clothes. How much detergent is recommended for 4 loads of clothes? in a table

Answer 1

2

Explanation:

`(1)/(4)` a cup detergent for
`(1)/(2)` a load of clothes would mean for each full load, it would take
`(1)/(2)` a cup of detergent.

Thus if you have 4 load of clothes, which is 8 half loads. You can take that 8 half loads and multiply
`(1)/(4)` by 8. This gives you 2 cups of detergent.
