Question

sue is making sugar cookies the recipe she calls for needs 2 3/4 flour and 1 1/4 margarine. How many cups of margarine does she need if she uses 11 cups of flour?

Answer 1

11 cups of flour divided by 2 3/4 cup of flour (or 2.75) equals 4. then you multiply 4 times 1 1/4 (or 1.25) which equals 5. So if Sue uses 11 cups of flour she will need 5 cups of margarine
