Answer:
1 1/8 cups of flour are required to bake 1 1/2 batches of cookies.
Explanation:
Given that a recipe for 1 batch of cookies calls for 3/4 cup of flour, to determine how much flour is required to bake 1 1/2 batches of cookies, the following calculation must be performed:
3/4 = 0.75
1/2 = 0.5
1 = 0.75
1.5 = X
1.5 x 0.75 / 1 = X
1.125 = X
0.125 = 1/8
Thus, 1 1/8 cups of flour are required to bake 1 1/2 batches of cookies.
