Answer:
(21)/(16)\ cups\ of\ sugar\approx1.3\ cups\ of\ sugar

Explanation:

Let be "x" the cups of sugar needed for a full batch of brownies.

You need to analize the information provided in the exercise.

Since Henry uses
(3)/(8) cups of sugar for
(2)/(7) batch of brownies, you can write the following proportion:


((3)/(8))/((2)/(7))=(x)/(1)

Finally, you must solve for "x".

Therefore, you get the following result:


x=(21)/(16)\ cups\approx1.3\ cups
