Answer:

C. ... 3 1/4 cups

Explanation:

The problem statement tells you that the other measures are combined. That means you're looking for an expression like ...

3/8 × ((3 2/3) +(2 1/4) +(2 3/4))

This eliminates choices B and D.

If you look at the numbers in parentheses, you see that the 1/4 and 3/4 will have a sum of 1, so the only fraction in the sum will be 2/3. This eliminates choice A.

The only viable answer choice is C.

__

If you like, you can check to see that answer C is correct.

(3/8)(8 2/3) = (3/8)(26/3) = 26/8 = 3 2/8 = 3 1/4
