Answer:
[tex]11\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following question:
[tex]2\frac{1}{4} \times5[/tex]
Each serving takes 2 1/4 cups of fruit...
How much to make 5 servings?
To find the answer we will have to multiply 2 1/4 by 5, since we are trying to find out how much it would take to make 5 smoothies.
[tex]2\frac{1}{4} \times5[/tex]
[tex]2\frac{1}{4} =4\times2=8+1=9=\frac{9}{4}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{9}{4} \times5[/tex]
[tex]5=\frac{5}{1}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{9}{4} \times\frac{5}{1}[/tex]
[tex]9\times5=45[/tex]
[tex]4\times1=4[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{45}{4}[/tex]
Convert into mixed number:
[tex]\frac{45}{4}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{45}{4}=45\div4=11\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
[tex]=11\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
Which means in order to make 5 servings of the smoothie, we need "11 1/4 cups" of fruit.
Hope this helps.
