A recipe requires 5 cups of corn starch. You can only measure using 2/5 cups. How many 2/5 cups are needed for this recipe? Leave answer as an improper fraction

Respuesta :

Number of cups of corn starch required for the recipe = 12.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Total starch required = 5 cups

Measurement of measuring cup = 2/5 cups.

Number of cups required = Total starch required ÷ Measurement of measuring cup

[tex]\texttt{Number of cups required = }\frac{5}{\frac{2}{5}}\\\\\texttt{Number of cups required = }\frac{25}{2}\\\\\texttt{Number of cups required = }12.5cups[/tex]

Number of cups of corn starch required for the recipe = 12.5
