Question

There are 3 grams of sugar in 1.2 cups of strawberries. How many cups of strawberries are needed to get 5 grams of sugar?

Answer 1

Answer:

2 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 1.2 cups of Strawberries gives you 3 grams of sugar, doubling the amount of strawberries would be too much, 6 grams. But, since the amount needed is 2 grams, that is 2/3 of 1.2 cups of strawberries. 2/3 of 1.2 is 0.8, so add the original amount of srawberries with 2/3 of the 1.2 cups and you get 1.2 cups+ 0.8 cups= 2 cups
