Question

please help.......if Frans fudge recipe calls for 2 1/2 cups of sugar and she increases it by 2/5 of a cup, how much sugar does she use?

Answer 1

Answer: 3.46 cups

Step-by-step explanation: multiply the number of cups she uses (2 1/2) by 2/5 or .4.. that gives you 0.94.. then add the 0.94 back to the original 2 1/2 to get the total amount of sugar
