Answer: The answer is 15.

Explanation:

In the question, we are informed:

2 1/2 cups sugar for the cake and 1 1/4 cup sugar for the vanilla icing are called for in Mr. Smith's recipe.

1st step

We total the amount of sugar he'll require.

1 1/4 + 2 1/2

(1/2 + 1/4) + (2 + 1)

= 3 + (2 Plus a quarter)

a total of 3 3/4 cups of sugar

2nd Step

How many 1/4 cup sugar scoops does he require?

This can be calculated as follows:

1/4 cup sugar 3 3/4 cup sugar

= 15/4 x 1/4 = 15/4 x 1/4 = 15/4 x 1/4 =

= 15/4/4 = 15/4/4 = 15/4/4 = 15/4/4 = 15/4

15

As a result, he'll require 15, 1/4 cup sugar scoops.
