Question

Klarissa is baking a cake. The recipe calls for \large 1\frac{3}{4} cups of flour, and Klarissa wants to triple the recipe. How much flour does she need?

Answer 1

Answer:
`5(1)/(4)\ \text{cups of flour}`

Explanation:

Given

Klarissa requires
`1\ (3)/(4)` cups of flour to make a recipe

Convert mixed numeral to fraction

`\Rightarrow 1(3)/(4)=(4+3)/(4)\\\\\Rightarrow (7)/(4)`

If she wants to triple the recipe then,

`\Rightarrow 3* (7)/(4)=(21)/(4)\\\\\Rightarrow \text{or}\ 5(1)/(4)\ \text{cups of flour}`
