Answer 1

Answer:

The amount of sugar needed in the doubled recipe = 1.5 cups.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, given:

Now, if the portion of the recipe is doubled:

⇒ The new portion of recipe = 2 x ( The original portion)

So, the amount if sugar needed is:

The new portion of sugar needed  = 2 x ( The original portion)

$= 2 \times( \frac{3}{4}) \textrm{cup}$

$= \frac{3}{2} \textrm{cup} = 1.5 \textrm{cup}$

Hence, the amount of sugar needed in the doubled recipe = 1.5 cups.
