Answer: [tex]1\dfrac12\text{ cups}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Quantity of flour required for 1 recipe = [tex]4\dfrac12[/tex] cups
[tex]=\dfrac{4\times2+1}{2}[/tex] cups
[tex]=\dfrac92[/tex] cups
Now , if chef wants to split the recipe into 3 equal batches , then quantity of flour in each batch = [tex]\dfrac92\div 3[/tex] cups
[tex]=\dfrac92\times\dfrac13\\\\=\dfrac32\text{ cups} = 1\dfrac12\text{ cups}[/tex]
Hence, the quantity of flour in each batch = [tex]1\dfrac12\text{ cups}[/tex]
