Question

A recipe for cookies calls for 2 cups of flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 3/4 cup of butter, 1.5 cups of sugar, 1.25 cups of egg whites, and 1 table spoon of vanilla extract. Use the unit conversion chart below to determine the final volume of the batter in milliliters.

1 cup 240 mL
1 cup 16 tablespoons
t tablespoon 3 teaspoons

Answer 1

1340 mL

Explanation:

There are ...

2 + 3/4 + 1.5 + 1.25 = 5.5

cups of ingredients, and ...

1/2 + 1/2 + 3 = 4

teaspoons of ingredients. Each teaspoon is 1/3 of 1/16 of a cup, so is 1/48 of a cup.

Altogether, the volume of ingredients is ...

5.5 + 4/48 cups = 5 7/12 cups

= (5 7/12)×(240 mL/cup) = 1340 mL
