Jessica is baking a cake. The recipe says that she has to mix 96 grams of sugar into the flour. Jessica knows that 1 cup of this particular sugar has a mass of 128 grams. She added one over two of a cup of sugar to the flour. Should Jessica add more sugar to make the exact recipe, or did she go over and by what amount? She went over by two over three of a cup. She needs to add two over three of a cup. She went over by one over four of a cup. She needs to add one over four of a cup.

She went under, she needs to add 3/4 cups to the recipe because:
3 divided by 4= 0.75
And
0.75 times by 128=96 which is the amount of sugar you need so the final answer is:
She needs to add 3/4 cups of sugar to the cake mix.
