Question

Jia needs 3/4 cups of blueberries to make scones. How many cups of blueberries does she need to make 3 times as many scones? I think it's either C or A, i'm not sure

A. 1/4 cups
B. 1 1/2 cups
C. 2 1/4 cups
D. 3 3/4 cups

Answer 1

C, 2 1/4 cups, is the correct answer. She needs 3 times as many, so multiply 3/4 by 3, which = 9/4. 4 will go into 9 two times and leave 1/4 left.
