Question

23) A recipe for cupcakes calls for 6 cups of

sugar. Shreya has already put in 3 cups.
How many more cups does she need to put
in?

Answer 1

Shreya must put in 3 more cups of sugar.

Explanation:

Given that a recipe for cupcakes calls for 6 cups of sugar, and Shreya has already put in 3 cups, to determine how many more cups does she need to put in to complete the amount required by the recipe, the following calculation must be performed:

6 - 3 = X

3 = X

Therefore, Shreya must put in 3 more cups of sugar.
