Question

One teaspoon is approximately 1/50 cup, and 1 tablespoon is equal to 3 teaspoons. Approximately how many cups of smoothie does Paige’s recipe make?

HELP PLEASE I REALLY NEED HELP!!!!!

Answer 1

One tea spoon=1/50 cup

1 tablespoon=3 teaspoon

Now the pumpkin smoothie recipe includes

1.)1 Banana=3/4 cup=3/4

2.) 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice=
`\frac{1}{{4}*{50}}`

=1/200

3.)1/4 teaspoon cinnamon=
`\frac{1}{{50}*{4}}`

=1/200

4.)1 cup ice=1

5.) 2 tablespoon maple syrup=6 teaspoon=6/50 cup=6/50

6.) 2/3 cup pumpkin puree=2/3

7.) 1/2 cup milk=1/2

8.) 1/2 cup Vanilla yogurt=1/2

Total number of cups of smoothie Paige's recipe make=

3/4 +1/200 +1/200 +1 +6/50 +2/3 +1/2 +1/2

=3/4 +1/100 +1 +6/50 +2/3 +1

= 76/100 +56/50 +5/3

= 188/100 +5/3

= 1064/300

Bringing this fraction in lowest terms, we get answer in terms of mixed fraction

= 3 41/75

So,total number of cups=3 41/75 cups

Answer 2

Let us combine all cups and table spoons together.

Total number of cups =
`(3)/(4)+(1)/(2)+1+(2)/(3)  +(1)/(2)  = (41)/(12)  cups`

Total number of teaspoons =
`(1)/(4) +(1)/(4) =(1)/(2)  teaspoons`

But given 1 teaspoon is approximately
`(1)/(50)  cup`

Hence
`(1)/(2)  teaspoons = (1)/(2) *(1)/(50) =(1)/(100) cups`

Total number of table spoons = 2

= 2*3 teaspoons (since 1 tablespoon=3 teaspoons)

= 6 teaspoons

=
`6*(1)/(50) =(3)/(25)  cups`

So far we calculated number of cups and converted total number of teaspoons and tablespoons into cups.

Let's add all of them together to get number of cups of smoothies does Paige's recipe make.

Total cups of smoothie =
`(41)/(12)+(1)/(100)  +(3)/(25) = (1064)/(300)= 3.547 cups`

So it will Paige's smoothie will be 3.6 cups approximately.
