A restaurant uses 2 1/2 pints of broth for each pot of chicken noodle soup.

How many pints are needed for 2 3/4 pots of soup?

6 7/8 pints of broth are needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply 2 1/2 by 2 3/4 to find how many pints are needed. Change both fractions to an improper fraction to make this easier. Then mutiply from left to right to get your answer. Simplify is necessary.

5/2 x 11/4 = 55/8 = 6 7/8

2 1/2 for 1 pot.

2 pots is 5 pints.

1/2 pot is 1 1/4

1/4 pot is 5/8

2 3/4 pot is 5 7/8 pints
