Answer: Smaller
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiplying a number by 1.25 increases it by a quarter
Multiplying a number by 0.75 decreases it by a quarter
1.25 / 0.75 = 0.9375
Thus, increasing something by a quarter then decreasing it by a quarter, you are effectively multiplying that number by 0.9375, which is less than 1, so the number will decrease.
You would divide 8 3/4 by 50 to find out how many cups you would get for just one cupcake. So you would do 8 3/4 DIVIDED BY 50= 0.175 which means there will be 0.175 cups of sugar per cupcake.
