Answer 1

Number of Sugar cups needs for 2 pies = 20/13 cups

Find:

Number of Sugar cups needs for 2 pies

Number of Sugar cups needs for 1 pie = 5 / (13/2)

Number of Sugar cups needs for 1 pie = 10 / 13 cups

Number of Sugar cups needs for 2 pies = 2[Number of Sugar cups needs for 1 pie]

Number of Sugar cups needs for 2 pies = 2[10/13]

Number of Sugar cups needs for 2 pies = 20/13 cups
