Karen has 1/2 cup of sugar. She is baking cookies and needs 1 and 4/3 cup for a recipe. How much more sugar does she need if she wants to triple the recipe?

4/3 is not a valid fraction for this type of problem so I am going to assume that it is 3/4. If this is a case she will need 1 and 1/4 more cups of sugar.

The answer would probably one and a half cups of sugar if you multiply it by three
