Arecipe calls for 2 2/3 cups of apple slices. zoe wants to use 1 1/2 times this amount.

4 cups of apple slices.

Step-by-step explanation:

A recipe calls for   cups of apple slices.

Zoe wants to use   times this amount.

We will multiply the amount of apple slices to  

×  

= ×  

=

= 4 cups

Zoe will use 4 cups of apple slices.

proportions are fractions that equal to each other. so if two fractions are the same, they are proportional.

let's check the answers to see if they are proportional.

question a is not proportional because you can't turn 1.5/3 to 3/9. if you try to multiply 1.5/3 by 2 or 3, you wont get 3/9. it's impossible to make the fractions the same.

question b is not proportional because you can't turn 22/33 to 4/6. 33 can't go into 6.

question c is proportional because when you multiply 2 and 3 by 71, you would get 142/213, and those fractions equal to each other

question d is proportional because when you divide 14 and 7 by 2, you would end up with 7/3.5, and those fractions equal to each other.
