Step-by-step explanation:
multiply the 1 1/2 by 2 to get 3.
find the closest number that is divisible by 3
3*7 is 21.
We now have to multiply 7 by 2 since we did that to our mixed number to get a whole number.
There is still a 1 1/2 left over. Simply add 1 to 14.
Answer:
15 servings
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Total number of cups = [tex]22\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
The number of cups required for each serving = [tex]1\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Thus,
[tex]\text{The number of servings}=\frac{\text{Total cups}}{\text{cups required for each serving}}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{22\frac{1}{2}}{1\frac{1}{2}}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{\frac{45}{2}}{\frac{3}{2}}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{45}{3}[/tex]
= 15
