Question

Lin has picked 1 1/2 cups of raspberries, which is enough for 3/4 of a cake. How many cups does she need for the whole cake?

Answer 1

Hey there!

To solve this, you can divide 1 1/2 and 3/4 . . .

1 1 /2 = 3/2
3/4 = 3/4

3/2 divided by 3/4:

3 x 4 = 12
2 x 3 = 6

12/6 = 2 <-----------

Lin needs 2 cups of raspberries for the whole cake.

Hope this helps you.
Have a great day!

Answer 2

(1.5 cups)/(.75 cake) = 2 cups/cake
