There are two eights per quarter, and four quarters per whole, so there would be 14 eights in one and three quarters
Answer:
3 1/3 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
you can set up a proportion based on the ratio of 2 cups cashews to 3 cups flour
let 'c' = # cups of cashews needed with 5 cups of flour
2/3 = c/5
cross-multiply to get:
3c = 10
c = 10/3 or 3 1/3 cups
Answer: 1 cup of sugar
Step-by-step explanation:
A recipe for banana bread requires 3 cups of bananas for every 1 1/2 cups of sugar used.
Converting 1 1/2 cups of sugar to improper fraction becomes 3/2 cups of sugar.
If 3 cups of bananas is required for 3/2 cups of sugar,
x cups of bananas will require 1 cup of sugar
3x / 2 = 3
3x = 6
x = 6/3 = 2
Therefore,
2 cups of bananas will require 1 cup of sugar.
We are looking for the number of cups of sugar that would require 2 cups of bananas.
We already got the answer.
1 cup of sugar would be used if 2 cups of bananas are used.
