triple means 3.
We are tripling the recipe.
To do that you need to times 5/4 and 3/1.
1: Multiply the top and then the bottom.
5 x 3 = 15.
4 x 1 = 4
The answer is 15/4.
But.. You need to divide them.
Once you do divide them, you get 3.75.
Or you can call that (number form)
Converted into a fraction again would be 3 3/4.
Hope this helps! - Aparri
