Question

Math problem a recipe for a dessert requires 3 4/5 cups of strawberries and 1.5 cuos of yogurt . How many cups of strawberries should be used if the recipe was tripled

Answer 1

The number of cups of strawberries to be used is 11 2/5 cups

Explanation:

Here, we want to know how many cups of strawberries to be used given that the recipe was tripled.

From the question, we are told that the recipe required 3 4/5 cups of strawberries.

Now, by tripling the recipe, it means we will be tripling the individual cups too.

So the number of cups of strawberries to be used will be ;

3 4/5 * 3

3 4/5 as improper fraction is 19/5

so we have 19/5 * 3 = 57/5 = 11 2/5
