what is 1 and a 1/2 cups divided by 4?

Answer 1

Here is another way to think about it.

Take the 1 full cup. One fourth of that would be 1/4 cup.

Now take the 1/2 cup. One fourth of that would be 1/8 cup.

So 1/4 of the total you started with is 1/4 + 1/8, or 3/8 cup.

Answer 2

what is 1 and a 1/2 cups divided by 4?

1 and a 1/2= 1.5 or 3/2

1.5 ÷ 4 = .375

or

3/2 ÷ 4 =
3/2 ÷ 4/1=
3/2 x 1/4= 3/8
3/8=.375

Answer 3

I do it with improper fractions.

1 &1/2 cups is 3/2 cups
3/2 cups divided by 4 is (3/2) / (4/1) or (3/2) * (1/4)=
(3*1) /(2*4)= 3/8 cup.

Answer 4

if you make 1 and 1/2 a complex fraction it is 3/2
now 3/2 divided by 4...remember 4 is the same thing as 4/1.
and dividing fractions is easy you just have to multiply by the reciprocal.

so
3/2 divided by 4/1
is the same thing as
3/2 times 1/4
multiply the numerators..you get 3
multiply the denomenators.. you get 6
3/8


you can also do this on a calc....1.5 divided by 4 and get .375

Answer 5

1 and 1/2 = 3/2


how to get,
denominator*whole number + numerator / denominator
2*1 + 1 = 3/ 2

(3/2) / 4

(3/2) * (1/4) = 3 / 8

Answer 6

3/8 cup
