Question

Priya has picked 1 1/2 cups of raspberries, which is enough for 34 of a cake. How many cups does she need for the whole cake?

Answer 1

Answer:

She needs 2 cups of raspberries.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Priya has picked 1 1/2 cups of raspberries, which is enough for 3/4 of a cake.

So this can be written as:

$1\frac{1}{2} \text{ Raspberries}=\frac{3}{4}\text{ Cake}$

$\frac{3}{2} \text{ Raspberries}=\frac{3}{4}\text{ Cake}$

Multiply both the sides by $\frac{4}{3}$.

$\frac{4}{3}\times\frac{3}{2} \text{ Raspberries}=\frac{4}{3}\times\frac{3}{4}\text{ Cake}$

2 Raspberries = 1 cake

Hence, she needs 2 cups of raspberries.
