Question

A recipe calls for 3.75 cups of flour what is this amount as a mixed number in simplest form

Answer 1

3.75 is 3 and 3/4 cups of flour.

Answer 2

Answer:

Hence, the amount 3.75 could be represented as a mixed number in simplest form as:

                           $3\dfrac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

A recipe calls for 3.75 cups of flour.

Now this amount could also be written as:

$3.75=\dfrac{375}{100}$

( since we wrote this quantity in fraction form )

Now, this number could be written as:

$\dfrac{375}{100}=\dfrac{15}{4}$

now this proper fraction could be written in  mixed form as follows:

$\dfrac{15}{4}=3\dfrac{3}{4}$
