Question

Velma must make five bottles of lemonade for the kids playing outside each bottle requires 3/4 cup of sugar how much sugar does she need?

Answer 1

15/4 cups or 3 3/4 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

She needs 5 times 3/4 cup.

5 * 3/4 =

= 5/1 * 3/4

= 15/4

= 3 3/4

Answer 2

For this case, we need to know how much sugar is required to make 5 bottles of lemonade, knowing that a bottle requires
`\frac {3} {4}` cups of sugar.

By making a rule of three we have:

1 ---------->
`\frac {3} {4}`

5 -----------> x

Where "x" represents the amount of sugar required for 5 bottles of lemonade.

`x = \frac {5 * \frac {3} {4}} {1}\\x = \frac {15} {4}`

So, you need
`\frac {15} {4}` cups of sugar

Answer:

Velma needs
`\frac {15} {4}`cups of sugar
