Question

Kory is divided Thai food for several friends. She needs triple recipe. The recipe calls for 3/4 teaspoon of curry. How much curry does she need?

Answer 1

It would be 2.25 teaspoons of curry

Answer 2

Since she needs to triple the recipe, we need to multiply 3 by 3/4, which would get us 9/4 because 3 x 3 is 9. We would need to turn it into a mixed number or a decimal so we can 9/4 which is 2.25, and turn it into by a mixed number by taking the whole number and the remainder, so you would get 2 1/4 teaspoons of curry.
