Answer:

1 1/8 cup of brown sugar.

Explanation:

Here is the correct question: A recipe calls for 3/4 cup brown sugar for each 2/3 cup white sugar. How many cups of brown sugar per cup of white sugar is this?

Given: 3/4 cup of brown sugar for each 2/3 cup of white sugar.

Finding requirement of brown sugar for 1 cup of white sugar.

∴ Each 2/3 cup of white sugar require 3/4 cup of brown sugar.

Now, 1 cup of white sugar require brown sugar =
((3)/(4) )/((2)/(3) ) cups

=
(3)/(4) * (3)/(2) = (9)/(8) \ cup

Thus, we can say
(9)/(8) = 1 1/8 cup of brown sugar is required per cup of white sugar.
