Katie has 4 1/2 ponds of flour. She uses 3/4 of it to bake brownies. How much flour does she need to make brownies? Basically I need to know if I divide or multiple?

1/3 and you divide

Step-by-step explanation:

41/2 = 9/2

3/4 ÷ 9/2

3/4 ×2/9 = 6/18

6/18 = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay. 4 and 1/2 simplifies to the improper fraction, 9/2. And 3/4 of it would mean we MULTIPLY it by the total, 9/2 pounds. (Whenever we see OF, we know that the operation is multiplication.) I think that you can do the rest from here, but I'll include a solution at the bottom if you still need help.

...

(9/2)*(3/4)=(9*3)/(2*4)=27/8=3 and 3/8 pounds of flour used to make brownies.

Hope this helps! Good luck! :)
