You are making cookies for a bake sale. The recipe calls for 2 3/4 cups of flour. How much flour will you need if you triple the recipe?
3 * 2 3/4 = 3 * 11/4 = 33/4 = 8 1/4
or
3(2 3/4) = 3*2 + 3*(3/4) = 6 + 9/4 = 6 + 2 1/4 = 8 1/4
hi please help me with math.
9 x 2/3 = 6 30 x 2/3 = 20 so 6 + 20 = 26 and 30 + 26 = 56 2+ 3 = 5.
subtract 56 - 26 = 30 and 30 - 6 - 9 = 15 and 15 - 3 - 2 -4 = 6 so 6 - 2 = 4/3 SO i will need 4/3.
To figure out how much flour you will need if you triple the recipe, you need to multiply the original amount of flour by 3.
The original amount of flour required is 2 3/4 cups. To multiply the fraction by a whole number, you need to convert the fraction to an improper fraction or a decimal.
To convert the mixed number 2 3/4 to an improper fraction, you need to multiply the whole number (2) by the denominator (4), which gives you 8. Then, add the numerator (3) to get 11. So, the mixed number can be written as an improper fraction 11/4.
Now, multiply 11/4 (the improper fraction) by 3 (to triple the recipe):
11/4 * 3 = (11 * 3) / (4 * 1) = 33/4 cups
So, if you triple the recipe, you will need 33/4 cups of flour.
