A single serving of pasta salad requires 1/4 cup of dry pasta .how much pasta is need for 9 1/2 serving?

Answer 1

`2(3)/(8)`

Explanation:

This first thing to do is turn your improper fraction into a proper fraction:

`9(1)/(2)=(19)/(2) \\`

Then you need to multiply both fractions:

`(1)/(4) .(19)/(2) =(19)/(8)`

After , you need to turn tne fraction back to an improper fraction

`(19)/(8)=2(3)/(8)`
