It is common to see mixed fractions in recipes. A recipe for pizza crust may ask for 1 1/2 cups of flour. You could measure this amount in two ways. You could fill a one-cup measuring cup with flour and a one-half cup measuring cup with flour or you could fill a half-cup measuring cup three times, because 1 1/2 is the same as 3/2.
