Answer: 3

Explanation:

Since the trifle cake uses 1 ½ cups of sugar and the chocolate twice as much sugar as the trifle cake you should multiply 1 ½ x 2 which would equal 3. So, 3 cups of sugar should go into the cake. (This is my first answer to a question so I'm sorry if I'm confusing)

Answer:

The answer is 3, but here’s how I got that answer.

Explanation:

As we know the trifle recipe requires 1 ½ cups of sugar, and the chocolate cake requires double the amount of sugar.

You have two options.


Multiply 1½ by 2

1½ x 2 = 3

———————————

Or add 1½ + 1½


1½ + 1½ = 3


———————————-

Wasn’t sure what you were asking for with this this question, but hope it helped.
