A RECIPE FOR CUPCAKES CALLS FOR 3/4 OF SUGAR FOR THE BATTER AND 2/3 OF A OF SUGAR FOR THE ICING. HOW MANY CUPS OF SUGAR ARE REQUIRED TO MAKE THE CAKE
To find out how many cups of sugar are required to make the cake, we need to add together the amount of sugar needed for the batter and the icing.
The recipe calls for 3/4 cup of sugar for the batter.
+
The recipe calls for 2/3 cup of sugar for the icing.
Adding these fractions together:
3/4 + 2/3 = (9/12) + (8/12) = 17/12
The sum of these fractions is 17/12. However, we need to express this as a whole number mixed with a fraction (if applicable).
17/12 = 1 (5/12)
So, to make the cake, you would need 1 and 5/12 cups of sugar.
NO BOT THAT'S WRONG HERE ARE THE CHOICES 5/7 1/2 1/12 17/12
Apologies for the incorrect response. Let's solve it correctly.
The recipe calls for 3/4 cup of sugar for the batter and 2/3 cup of sugar for the icing. To find the total amount of sugar required, we add these two fractions together:
3/4 + 2/3 = 9/12 + 8/12 = 17/12
Therefore, the total amount of sugar required to make the cake is 17/12 cups.
WRONG
Apologies for the mistake. Let's solve it correctly this time.
The recipe calls for 3/4 cup of sugar for the batter and 2/3 cup of sugar for the icing. To find the total amount of sugar required, we need to add these two fractions together:
3/4 + 2/3
To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The lowest common denominator for 4 and 3 is 12.
Multiplying the numerator and denominator of 3/4 by 3, we get 9/12.
Multiplying the numerator and denominator of 2/3 by 4, we get 8/12.
Now we can add the fractions:
9/12 + 8/12 = 17/12
Therefore, the total amount of sugar required to make the cake is 17/12 cups.
To determine the total amount of sugar required to make the cupcakes, you'll need to calculate the sums of the sugar needed for the batter and the icing separately.
First, let's calculate the amount of sugar needed for the batter:
- The recipe calls for 3/4 cups of sugar for the batter.
Next, let's calculate the amount of sugar needed for the icing:
- The recipe calls for 2/3 cups of sugar for the icing.
To find the total amount of sugar required, add the amount needed for the batter to the amount needed for the icing:
3/4 cups (sugar for batter) + 2/3 cups (sugar for icing) = (9/12 + 8/12) = 17/12 cups of sugar.
Therefore, you would need approximately 1 5/12 cups of sugar to make the cupcakes.
To calculate the total amount of sugar required to make the cupcakes, we need to find the sum of the sugar needed for the batter and the icing.
First, let's calculate the amount of sugar needed for the batter. The recipe calls for 3/4 cup of sugar for the batter.
Next, let's calculate the amount of sugar needed for the icing. The recipe calls for 2/3 cup of sugar for the icing.
To find the total amount of sugar required, we add the amount of sugar needed for the batter and the icing together.
3/4 cup + 2/3 cup = (9/12 cup) + (8/12 cup) = 17/12 cup of sugar.
The total amount of sugar required to make the cupcakes is 17/12 cup. However, it is more practical to convert this fraction into a mixed number or decimal.
To convert 17/12 into a mixed number, we divide the numerator (17) by the denominator (12):
17 ÷ 12 = 1 remainder 5.
This means that there is 1 whole cup and a remainder of 5/12 cup of sugar needed.
Therefore, to make the cupcakes, you would need 1 cup and 5/12 cup of sugar, or approximately 1.42 cups of sugar.
