A recipe calls for 2 3/4 cups of milk. How many cups of milk, written as a fraction greater than one, are used in the recipe

11/4

Do you know how I got that?

To convert the mixed number to an improper fraction, follow these steps:

Step 1: Multiply the whole number (2) by the denominator of the fraction (4).
2 * 4 = 8

Step 2: Add the product from Step 1 to the numerator (3).
8 + 3 = 11

Step 3: Write the sum from Step 2 over the original denominator (4).
11/4

Therefore, 2 3/4 cups of milk can be written as the fraction 11/4.

To determine the answer, we need to convert the mixed number "2 3/4" to an improper fraction. Here's how to do it:

1. Multiply the whole number (2) by the denominator of the fraction (4): 2 * 4 = 8.
2. Add the result from step 1 to the numerator of the fraction (3): 8 + 3 = 11.
3. Keep the denominator the same: 4.

Therefore, the mixed number "2 3/4" is equivalent to the improper fraction 11/4. This means that the recipe requires 11/4 cups of milk. Since we are looking for the answer in a fraction greater than one, we can convert the fraction to a mixed number:

1. Divide the numerator (11) by the denominator (4): 11 ÷ 4 = 2 with a remainder of 3.
2. The whole number part (2) becomes the whole number in the mixed number, and the remainder (3) becomes the numerator of the fractional part.
3. The denominator remains unchanged (4).

So, the answer is 2 3/4 cups of milk.
