Question

Sandra has 1/2 of cup of sugar. She needs 3/4 of a cup of sugar to complete a recipe. What fraction of the required amount does she currently have?

Answer 1

Example: Set up proportions.

3/4 cups → 1 batch
x cups → 2 batches

x = 2(3/4) = 6/4 = 1 1/2 cups

3/4 cups → 1 batch
y cups → 9 batches

y = 9(3/4) = 6 3/4 cups
