Answer: The required number of cups of frozen mango is 1.125.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that a smoothie recipe calls for [tex]2\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex] cups of frozen mango and the recipe serves two.

We are to find the number of cups of frozen mango that is needed to serve one.

We will be using the UNITARY method to solve the problem.

We have

The number of cups of frozen mango that needs to serve two is

[tex]2\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{9}{4}=2.25.[/tex]

Therefore, the number of frozen mango that needs to serve one is given by

[tex]\dfrac{2.25}{2}=1.125.[/tex]

Thus, the required number of cups of frozen mango is 1.125.
