The recipe requires an amount of sugar than flour. The recipe needs cups of flour.
To model the equation 2s = 3 1/2, we need to solve for s in order to find the amount of sugar needed in the recipe.
Let's start by converting the mixed number 3 1/2 into an improper fraction.
3 1/2 = (2 * 3) + 1/2 = 7/2
So, the equation becomes:
2s = 7/2
To find the value that models this equation, we need to divide both sides of the equation by 2:
s = (7/2) / 2 = 7/4
Therefore, the value that models the equation is 7/4.
Given the equation 2s = 3 1/2, fill in the blank with the value that models the equation. The recipe requires an amount of sugar than flour. The recipe needs cups of flour.
