Question
Answer:
1. To estimate this answer you will round each fraction to the closest benchmark fraction. 3/4 is in the middle of 1/2 and one whole, so it rounds up to one whole. 1 3/8 rounds to 1 1 /2 because 3/8 is close to the benchmark fraction 1/2. Estimating involves getting an answer for this question the answer would be 2 1/2 teaspoons.

2. See the attached picture for the work for this one. I created improper fractions before subtracting.

3. See attached picture. I subtracted 1/2 from the total amount of apples, and then added 1/4 cup of oil to this answer.

4. The table states that one batch requires 3/8 cup of milk. For six batches, you would need six groups of 3/8 cup of milk. This would be 3/8Γ—6.
3/8 x 6=9/4 cups
9/4 cups of milk = 2 1/4 cups of milk.
