To make cheesecake, you need about 2 1/2 pounds of cheese cake. how many pounds of cream chees will you need to make 2 cheesecakes?

lets set up our problem.

We need to multiply our recipe by 2. soo..

×

But we have to change our 2 and 1/2 fraction into an improper fraction.

So you multiply the denominator and add the numerator to get the new numerator. So 2 x 2 +1 = 5 and the old denominator stays the same. 5/2

Now we can multiply.

×  =

10 ÷ 2 = 5

So this means that you will need 5 pounds of cream cheese in order to make 2 cheese cakes. - Yum

Good Luck! :)
