I have 1 3/4 cups of grated cheese. This is enough to make 1/2 of a pan of macaroni and cheese. How much cheese do I need to make a whole pan?

Answer 1

If 1 3/4 cups of grated cheese is enough to make 1/2 of a pan of macaroni and cheese, you will need double that amount to make a whole pan.

To find the amount needed for a whole pan, you can multiply 1 3/4 cups by 2:

1 3/4 cups = 1 + 3/4 = 4/4 + 3/4 = 7/4 cups

Now, double that amount:

\[ \text{Whole pan of cheese} = 2 \times \frac{7}{4} = \frac{14}{4} = 3 \frac{1}{2} \text{ cups} \]

So, you need 3 1/2 cups of grated cheese to make a whole pan of macaroni and cheese.
