Nora needs 5 and 1/2 cups of flour for a cookie recipe she is making for a large party. So far she has scooped 1 1/2 cups and 1 3/4 cups of flour into her bowl. How many more cups of flour does she need?
11/2 total or 22/4 total. We have used 3/2 or 6/4 plus another 7/4 so we have a total of 13/4ths. Then we subtract 13 from 22 which gets us 9/4 Meaning we need a total of 2 full cups and a 1/4th of a cup other wise being 9/4ths of a cup
