Question

A recipe calls for 3 2/3 cups of flour. Earl used 7 1/3 cups. By how much did he increase the recipe

Answer 1

3 2/3 =3.66
7 1/3 =7.33
7.33-3.66=3.77

Answer 2

Answer:

Earl doubled the number of recipies due to amount of flour.

Step-by-step explanation:

A recipe needs $3\,\frac{2}{3}$ cups of flour $\left(\frac{11}{3}\right)$, whereas Earl made use of $7 \,\frac{1}{3}$ cups $\left(\frac{22}{3} \right)$. The number of equivalent recipies is determined by simple rule of three:

$x = \frac{\frac{22}{3} }{\frac{11}{3} }$

$x = 2\,recipes$

Earl doubled the number of recipies due to amount of flour.
