Answer 1

17 13/24 cups of sugar

Explanation:

Muffins = 5 3/8 cups of sugar

Brownies = 4 2/3 cups of sugar

Cookies = 7 1/2 cups of sugar

Total cups of sugar used = Muffins + Brownies + Cookies

= 5 3/8 + 4 2/3 + 7 1/2

= 43/8 + 14/3 + 15/2

= 129+112+180/24

= 421 / 24

= 17 13/24 cups of sugar

Equivalent to 17.5417 cups of sugar

Approximately about 18 cups of sugar to an whole number
