[tex]2\frac{1}{2}=2.5[/tex][tex]1\frac{3}{4}=1.75[/tex]Let's start...a recipe say that we have to use 1.75 cups of flour, then 2.5 recipe we have to use [tex]1.75*2.5[/tex] cups of flour, it's iqual 4.375 cup of flour.

[tex]1\frac34 \cdot 2\frac12=\frac74 \cdot \frac52=\frac{35}6=4\frac38\ cups\ of\ flour[/tex]
