2 cups of sugar.
How much more sugar does the baker need to make 36 cupcakes?
A) 3/4
B) 1 1/2
C) 2 3/4
D) 3 1/2
2 answers:
I think the answer is B. 1 3/4 = 18, 2/12=36.
He need's 1 1/2 more
First, let's find how many servings the baker wanted to make.
36/18= 2
He wanted to make 2 servings of the 18 cupcakes.
One serving calls for 1 3/4 cups of sugar, or 1.75 cups. (put into decimal form)
Multiply that by 2.
1.75*2= 3.5, or 3 2/4 cups of sugar.
He only has 2 cups.
3 2/4- 2= 1 2/4
He needs 1 2/4, or 1 1/2 cups of sugar for 36 cupcakes.
The correct answer is "B".
I hope this helps!
