a recipe that serves 4 calls for 1 3/4 cups of tomato sauce. if jerry makes 2 1/2 time that amount, how many cups of tomato sauce will he need?

4 and 3/8 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

1 and 3/4 times 2 and 1/2

1 and 3/4 as a mixed number is 7/4 (4 x 1 = 4 + 3 = 7) (keep denominator)

2 and 1/2 as a mixed number is 5/2 (2 x 2 = 4 + 1 = 5) (keep denominator)

7/4 x 5/2 = 35/8

8 will go into 35 4 times. When you subtract 35-32, you have 3 left over and keep the denominator of 8. So, the answer is 4 and 3/8.
