Answer:
To make half batch of cookies, Irina needs
\(\frac{15}{8}\) cups of flour.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the answer to this question, we have to transform 3.75 into a fraction, and then divide it by 2. Such number can be transformed by dividing by 100 and then simplifying, as follows
\(3.75=\frac{375}{100}=\frac{75}{20}=\frac{15}{4}\)
Now, we divide it by two
\(\frac{15}{4} \div 2=\frac{15}{4} \times \frac{1}{2}=\frac{15}{8}\)
Therefore, to make half batch of cookies, Irina needs \(\frac{15}{8}\) cups of flour.
