Sarah is making a healthy smoothie for breakfast. Her recipe includes 2 1/4 cups of yogurt. Sarah wants to make 3 servings. How much yogurt does she need in total? Convert the answer to a mixed number in simplest form
To find the total amount of yogurt Sarah needs, multiply the amount per serving by the number of servings:
2 1/4 cups/serving x 3 servings = <<2.25*3=6.75>>6.75 cups
To convert the answer to a mixed number in simplest form, note that 6 cups is equal to 6. So, we are left with 0.75 cups.
Since 0.75 is three-fourths of a cup, we can write this as a fraction: 3/4.
Therefore, Sarah needs a total of 6 3/4 cups of yogurt.
