Question

Klarissa is baking a cake. The recipe calls for \large 1\frac{3}{4} cups of flour, and Klarissa wants to triple the recipe. How much flour does she need?

Answer 1

Answer: $5\dfrac{1}{4}\ \text{cups of flour}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Klarissa requires $1\ \frac{3}{4}$ cups of flour to make a recipe

Convert mixed numeral to fraction

$\Rightarrow 1\dfrac{3}{4}=\dfrac{4+3}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{7}{4}$

If she wants to triple the recipe then,

$\Rightarrow 3\times \dfrac{7}{4}=\dfrac{21}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow \text{or}\ 5\dfrac{1}{4}\ \text{cups of flour}$
