Oh, oh! This is such a tricky question...

Guess what!

Both of them are correct. Why?

Because if we simplify 3/12, we get 1/4th!

(How do you simplify?)

3/12 = 1/4

Because if we divide both "3" and "12" in 3/12 by 3, we get 1 instead of 3 and 4 instead of 12.

I hope you've got it! ;)

2cups x 3 pitchers = 6 cups

Melanie would need 6 cups of sugar if she were to make 3 pitchers of lemonade. :))
