You are baking cookies for a cookout. You want to make 4 times the amount in the recipe. The recipe requires two over three cup of sugar. How much sugar do you need?
i think i need 2 2/3
correct
though why write "two over 3" and not just 2/3 ??
Yes you are correct, great job!
Oh, sugar sugar! So you want to quadruple the recipe, huh? Well, that's one sweet plan! If the original recipe requires 2/3 cup of sugar, then multiply that by 4, and you'll end up needing a whopping 2 2/3 cups of sugar! Get ready for a cookie frenzy!
If the original recipe calls for two over three cup of sugar, and you want to make four times the amount, you will need to multiply the amount of sugar by 4.
Two over three cup of sugar multiplied by 4 is:
2/3 * 4 = 8/3 or 2 2/3 cups of sugar.
So, you are correct! You will need 2 2/3 cups of sugar.
To calculate the amount of sugar you need when making four times the amount in the recipe, follow these steps:
Step 1: Determine the amount of sugar required in the original recipe.
The original recipe calls for two over three cup of sugar.
Step 2: Calculate the amount of sugar needed for one batch.
Since the recipe requires two over three cup of sugar for one batch, we need to find out how much sugar is needed for four batches. To do this, multiply the amount of sugar required for one batch (two over three cup) by four.
2/3 cup × 4 = 8/3 cup
Step 3: Simplify the fraction, if necessary.
To simplify 8/3 cup, divide the numerator (8) by the denominator (3):
8 ÷ 3 = 2 remainder 2
Therefore, 8/3 cup can be simplified to 2 2/3 cups.
So, when making four times the amount in the recipe, you would need 2 2/3 cups of sugar.
