Question

A recipe calls for 2Start Fraction 3 over 4 End Fraction cups of sugar. How many fourths is that? A. 3 B. 8 C. 11 D. 14

Answer 1

Option C. 11

Explanation:

we know that

A recipe calls for
`2(3)/(4)\ cups\ of\ sugar`

so

To find out how many fourths is that, divide 2 3/4 by 1/4

Remember that

`2(3)/(4)=(2*4+3)/(4)=(11)/(4)`

`(11)/(4):(1)/(4)=(11*4)/(4*1)=11`
