sugar. How much sugar
would Theresa need to

cookies? PLEASE HELP ITS DUE TOMORROW IM FREAKING OUT

Answer 1

You will need 3
`(11)/(15)` cups of sugar.

Explanation:

1 1/3 x 2 4/5

another name for 1 is 3/3

3/3 + 1/3 = 4/3

Another name for 1 is 5/5

5/5 + 5/5 + 4/5 = 14/5

`(4)/(3 )` x
`(14)/(5)` =
`(56)/(15)`

I can break 56 into 15 + 15 + 15 + 11

`(15)/(15)` +
`(15)/(15)` +
`(15)/(15)` +
`(11)/(15)` another name for
`(15)/(15)` is 1

1 + 1 + 1 +
`(11)/(15)`

3
`(11)/(15)`
