Question

Mr. Smith has an online cooking show. Before he films an episode about baking the perfect pound cake, he prepares his ingredients. His recipe calls for 2 1 2 cups of sugar for the cake and 1 1 4 cups of sugar for the vanilla glaze. How many 1 4 -cup scoops of sugar does he need?

Answer 1

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4/4 to make a whole so 2 1/2 cups would be 10 'scoops' and 1 1/4 would be 5 'scoops'. Add 10 + 5 to get a total of 15 scoops.

Hope that helps and have a great day!
