Answer:
[tex]1\frac{3}{8}\ cups[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
To find out how many cups of powdered milk are needed to make half a recipe, divide the original amount by two
so
[tex]2\frac{3}{4}:2[/tex]
Convert mixed number to an improper fraction
[tex]2\frac{3}{4}=2+\frac{3}{4}=\frac{2*4+3}{4}=\frac{11}{4}[/tex]
substitute in the expression above
[tex]\frac{11}{4}:2=\frac{11}{8}\ cups[/tex]
Convert to mixed number
[tex]\frac{11}{8}\ cups=\frac{8}{8}+\frac{3}{8}=1\frac{3}{8}\ cups[/tex]
