mrs. Baker is making chocolate chip cookies. her recipe caps for 3 1/2 cups of flour. she does not have enough flour a full recipe. write and explain how you would find how many cups of flour are needed to make only half the recipe

Step-by-step explanation:

a full recipe calls for 3 1/2 cups of flour ... so if she wanted to make half of the recipe, she would need half of the flour in a full recipe ... so she would need half of 3 1/2.

turn ur mixed number into an improper fraction ... 3 1/2 = 7/2

(7/2) / 2 ... when dividing with fractions, flip what u are dividing by, then multiply

(7/2) / 2 = 7/2 * 1/2 = 7/4 = 1 3/4 cups of flour are needed for half a recipe
