Question

grandma is making a large cake for all of her grandchildren. The recipe requires her to add 2 and 3/4 cups of butter, 1/4 of vanilla extract, 1 and 1/4 cups of egg yolk, and some sugar. She lost her receive but she knows the amount of sugar is 2/4 cups more than the amount of butter. How much sugar does she need to add to her mixing bowl?

Answer 1

To solve this problem, we need to figure out how much sugar Grandma needs for her recipe.

We know that the amount of sugar she needs to use is 2/4 cups more than the amount of butter. Therefore, we just need to add 2/4 cups to the amount of butter Grandma used to find the amount of sugar she needs.

Butter = 2 3/4 cups

Sugar = 2 3/4 cups + 2/4 cups = 2 5/4 cups = 3 1/4 cups

Thus, Grandma needs to add 3 1/4 cups of sugar to her mixing bowl.
