Given:
A recipe for punch says to use 4 1/2 of lemonade for each cup of ginger ale.
Determine how much lemonade should you use if you use 1 2/5 cups of ginger ale.
Solution:
In order to determine how much lemonade should you use, we simply need to convert first all the mixed number to decimals.
4 ½ = 4.5
1 2/5 = 1.4
Multipy 1.4 by 4.5.
= (4.5)(1.4)
= 6.3 cups of lemonade
Final answer:
6.3 cups of lemonade.
