Given

Yoshi need
`1(1)/(4)` cups of blueberries to make 1 batch of muffins

convert mixed fraction to fraction

`\Rightarrow 1(1)/(4)=(5)/(4)`

i.e.
`(5)/(4)` cups are required for 1 batch of muffins

for
`2(1)/(2)` batch or
`(5)/(2)` batch it is given by

`\Rightarrow (5)/(2)* (5)/(4)\\\\\Rightarrow (25)/(8)=3(1)/(8)\ \text{cups}`
