Question

A recipe calls for 1 ¼ cups of sugar and 1 ¾ cups of flour to make one batch of cookies. How much sugar and flour would it take to make 3 batches of cookies?

Answer 1

It will take 3 3/4 cups of sugar and 5 1/4 cups of flour.

Explanation:

Multiply 1 1/4 and 1 3/4 by three, because 3 batches of cookies are being made.

1 1/4x3= 3 3/4 cups of sugar

1 3/4x3= 5 1/4 cups of flour
