Final answer:
Louise needs 6 scoops of the 1/4 cup measuring spoon to measure out 1 1/2 cups of sugar for her recipe.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student has asked how many ¼ cup scoops of sugar they would need to measure out 1 ½ cups of sugar for a recipe.
Since the student only has a measuring spoon that measures ¼ of a cup, we need to calculate how many ¼ cup measurements make up 1 ½ cups.
To find this, you can convert 1 ½ cups to quarters (which is the same as 6 quarters) and then divide by the quarters in the measuring spoon, which is 1. So, 6 divided by 1 equals 6.
Therefore, Louise needs 6 scoops of the ¼ cup measuring spoon to get the total amount of sugar required for the recipe.
