Question

peter is baking cookies. The recipe calls for 3/4 cups of flour. He needs to triple the recipe. How many cups of flour will he need? need help please​

Answer 1

Answer:

$3 \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{3}{1} \times \frac{3}{4}$

$\frac{3}{1} \times \frac{3}{4} = \: \: \frac{9}{4} \: or \: \: 2 \:\times \frac{1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Originally he needs 3/4 cups

If he is tripling it, he need 3 times 3/4.

You can see above since every number has a 1 under them you can write 3 as 3/1 if it make it easier dor you to understand.

Then, you multiply numerators and denominators with each other. 3 times 3 will give you 9 and 1 times 4 will give you 4.

So you got 9/4 whixh can also write as 2(times)1/4

Hope this is helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
