Question

Belinda is making doughnuts. If the recipe calls for 2 cups of sugar, and each cup of sugar weighs 2 3 pounds, how many pounds of sugar did she use? A) 2 pounds B) 3 4 pound C) 2 5 pound D) 11 3 pounds

Answer 1

The answer is 3/4 pound (B)

Answer 2

Answer: D. 1 & 1/3

Step-by-step explanation: Here is how I got the answer. I have to figure out what 2 cups of sugar weigh in pounds. The question says 1 cup weighs 2/3 of a pound. So what I did, was I multiplied 2/3 by 2, or 2/1. that'll give us an answer, of 1 1/3 pounds.

Hope this helped, though probably it didn't.
