Question

a certain recipe for 7/8 cup of granola. How much is needed to make 5/4 of the recipe

Answer 1

five fourths of 7 /8 is

5*7/4*8=35/32=1 3/32.

Fortuantly, recipes don't have to be that accurate. Only a math teacher would measure out 1 3/32 of a substance. Most others would measure out 1 1/4 .
