Question

problems 1–2
biryani is a rice dish from south asia.
three students made the same biryani recipe using different - sized scoops.
if the recipe calls for 4 cups of rice, how many scoops of rice does each student need?
hanjung: 2 - cup scoop
leah - james: \\(\frac{1}{2}\\) - cup scoop

Explanation:

For Hanjung:

Step1: Identify total and scoop size

Total rice: \( 4 \) cups, Scoop size: \( 2 \) cups.

Step2: Calculate scoops (division)

Scoops = \( \frac{4}{2} \)

Step3: Simplify the division

\( \frac{4}{2} = 2 \)

For Leah - James:

Step1: Identify total and scoop size

Total rice: \( 4 \) cups, Scoop size: \( \frac{1}{2} \) cup.

Step2: Calculate scoops (division)

Scoops = \( \frac{4}{\frac{1}{2}} \)

Step3: Divide by fraction (multiply by reciprocal)

\( \frac{4}{\frac{1}{2}}=4\times2 = 8 \)

Answer:

Hanjung: \( 2 \) scoops
Leah - James: \( 8 \) scoops
