llene is making smoothies. The recipe calls for1 1/4 cups of strawberries. How many cups of strawberries, written as a fraction greater than one, are used in the recipe?

1 1/4 = 5/4

To solve this problem, we need to convert the mixed number into an improper fraction. Here's how you can do it:

1. Start with the whole number part, which is 1.
2. Multiply the whole number by the denominator of the fraction and add the numerator. In this case, 1 x 4 + 1 = 5.
3. Place the result from step 2 over the original denominator. The original denominator is 4. So, the improper fraction is 5/4.

Therefore, the amount of strawberries used in the recipe, written as a fraction greater than one, is 5/4 cups.
