If a recipe needs $\frac{5}{4}$ cups of sugar, and you are going to triple the recipe, you'd have to multiple that amount by 3. So basically :

$\frac{5}{4}$ × $\frac{3}{1}$ is $\frac{15}{4}$ . That's the answer in fraction form, at least. In number form, the answer would be 3.75. Once this number is converted into fraction form once again. it would be $3 \frac{3}{4}$

Ella grew 3 over 4 of an inch last year. Ben grew 2 over 3 of an inch last year. How much more did Ella grow than Ben last year?

Answer:

Ella grew $\frac{1}{12}$ of an inch more

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, you want to subtract Ben's growth from Ella's.

This expression would be $\frac{3}{4}$ - $\frac{2}{3}$ .

To work these out, they must have the same denominator (which should be the lowest common multiple or LCM).

In this case, the LCM is 12, so you want to multiply each side so the denominator is 12. This means the first fraction should be multiplied by $\frac{3}{3}$ and the second by $\frac{4}{4}$ .
