Question

The list below shows the amounts of various ingredients in a recipe. How many cups of ingredients are listed?

1) 1 1/2 (1.5)
2) 2 1/2 (2.5)
3) 2 1/4 (2.25)
4) 2 3/4 (2.75)

Answer 1

The total sum of the cups of ingredients listed in the recipe is 9 cups, after adding the individual listed amounts together.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total cups of ingredients listed in the recipe, we simply add the amounts together:

• 1 1/2 (1.5) cups
• 2 1/2 (2.5) cups
• 2 1/4 (2.25) cups
• 2 3/4 (2.75) cups

Adding these amounts gives us 1.5 cups + 2.5 cups + 2.25 cups + 2.75 cups = 9 cups in total. In cooking, standard measuring cups and measuring spoons are used to measure these amounts accurately.
