Question

A recipe needs 5/4 of a cup of sugar you are going to triple the recipe how much sugar do you need?

Answer 1

The answer is 16/2 cups of sugar

Answer 2

If a recipe needs
`(5)/(4)` cups of sugar, and you are going to triple the recipe, you'd have to multiple that amount by 3. So basically :


`(5)/(4)` ×
`(3)/(1)` is
`(15)/(4)`. That's the answer in fraction form, at least. In number form, the answer would be 3.75. Once this number is converted into fraction form once again. it would be
`3 (3)/(4)`
