a recipe calls for 2 and 3/4 cups of milk. how many cups of milk written as a fraction greater than one are used in the recipe?

11/4

To find the answer, let's look at the given information. The recipe calls for 2 and 3/4 cups of milk.

First, we need to convert the whole number part, 2, into a fraction. The whole number 2 can be written as 2/1.

Next, we need to add the fractions. To add fractions, the denominators (the bottom numbers) must be the same. Since the denominator of 2/1 is 1, we need to change 3/4 to a fraction with a denominator of 1. We can do this by multiplying both the numerator and denominator of 3/4 by 1 (or any other number).

Multiplying the numerator and denominator of 3/4 by 1 gives us 3/4.

Now, we can add the fractions: 2/1 + 3/4.

To add fractions, we need to find a common denominator, which in this case is 4 because it is the smallest number that both 1 and 4 can divide into evenly.

We can rewrite 2/1 as 8/4 (by multiplying both the numerator and denominator by 4).

Now, we have 8/4 + 3/4, which equals 11/4.

Therefore, the recipe requires 11/4 cups of milk, which is written as a fraction greater than one.
