Josh's chicken soup recipe calls for 2 1 / 2 L of chicken stock. Josh makes 3 1 / 4 times the recipe for a family reunion. How much chicken stock does Josh use to make soup for the family reunion? Express your answer as a mixed number in the simplest form. Enter your answer in the box.

Respuesta :

Required amount of chicken stock = [tex]2\frac{1}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex]L

Total amount of extra recipe made = [tex]3\frac{1}{4}=\frac{13}{4}[/tex]L

Total amount of chicken made is =  [tex]\frac{13}{4} * \frac{5}{2}= \frac{65}{8}[/tex]L

Hence Josh made total [tex]\frac{65}{8}[/tex] L of chicken soup.

Converting it to mixed fraction we get,

[tex]8\frac{1}{8}[/tex] L
