Answer 1

Answer:

1 1/8 cup of brown sugar.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the correct question: A recipe calls for 3/4 cup brown sugar for  each 2/3 cup white sugar. How many cups of  brown sugar per cup of white sugar is this?    

Given: 3/4 cup of brown sugar for each 2/3 cup of white sugar.

Finding requirement of brown sugar for 1 cup of white sugar.

∴ Each 2/3 cup of white sugar require 3/4 cup of brown sugar.    

Now, 1 cup of white sugar require brown sugar = $\frac{\frac{3}{4} }{\frac{2}{3} } cups$

 = $\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{3}{2} = \frac{9}{8} \ cup$

Thus, we can say $\frac{9}{8}$ = 1 1/8 cup of brown sugar is required per cup of white sugar.
