Adrian’s recipe for raisins muffins calls for 1 3/4 cups of raisins for one batch of muffins. adrian wants to make 2 1/2 batches of muffins for a bake sale. how many cups of raisins will adrian use? (happy eid to ! )

Adrian will need 4 3/8 cups of raisins to bake 2 1/2 batches.

Convert the mixed fractions into improper fractions:

1 3/4 = 7/4

2 1/2 = 5/2

Multiplying fractions:

1) Multiply numerators

2) Multiply denominators

3) Simplify answer

7/4 * 5/2 = 7*5 / 4*2 = 35/8

35/8 can be simplified into a mixed fraction 4 3/8 

Adrian needs to use 4 3/8 cups of raisins.

hey there! : )

4y < -4

we need to isolate y. we can do this by simply dividing both sides by 4.

4y ÷ 4 > -4 ÷ 4

simplify.

y > -1

5 - y > 0

once again, we need to isolate y, so we can start off by subtracting 5 from both sides.

5 - y - 5 > 0 - 5

simplify.

-y > -5

divide both sides by -1.

** remember that when dividing any side by a negative, you must switch the sign! **

-y ÷ -1 < -5 ÷ -1

simplify.

y < 5
