Answer 2

6/4 or 1 1/2

Because Sarah is using 1 cup of sugar or two 1/2s, she will have to multiply 3/4 by 2. 2 can also be shown as 2/1 if its easier for you.

to multiply fractions together, multiply the numerators together for your numerator and your denominators together for your denominator.

3/4 × 2/1 = 6/4

if you like, you can write 6/4 as a mixed fraction by saying 1 1/2
