Respuesta :
The given partial fraction divided by the fraction of sugar in a scoop is
equal to multiplying the partial fraction by the reciprocal of the fraction.
- The number of scoops of sugar needed is 10 scoops.
Reasons:
The amount of sugar the recipe Emma is making needs = 2 1/2 cups
Amount of sugar in each scoop of sugar = 1/4 cups
Required:
The amount of scoops Emma needs to add for the entire recipe
Solution:
The amount of sugar needed = 2 1/2 cups
Amount of sugar per scoop = 1/4 cups/scoop
Therefore;
- [tex]\displaystyle Number \ of \ scoops = \mathbf{\frac{Cups \ of \ sugar \ needed}{Cups \ of \ of \ sugar \ per \ scoop}}[/tex]
Which gives;
- [tex]\displaystyle Number \ of \ scoops \ needed = \mathbf{\frac{2 \frac{1}{2} \ cups \ of \ sugar }{\frac{1}{4} \ cups \ of \ sugar \ per \ scoop}}[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle 2 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{ \frac{5}{2}}{\frac{1}{4} } = \mathbf{ \frac{5}{2} \times \frac{4}{1} = \frac{20}{2 }} = 10[/tex]
Therefore;
[tex]\displaystyle Number \ of \ scoops \ needed = \mathbf{\frac{2 \frac{1}{2} \ cups \ of \ sugar }{\frac{1}{4} \ cups \ of \ sugar \ per \ scoop}} = 10 \, scoops[/tex]
The number of scoops she needs for the entire recipe is 10 scoops
