Sarah is making a healthy smoothie for breakfast. Her recipe includes 2 1/4 cups of yogurt. Sarah wants to make three servings. How much yogurt does she need in total convert the answer to a mixed number in simplest form
To find the total amount of yogurt Sarah needs, we need to multiply the amount needed for one serving by the number of servings.
So, 2 1/4 cups of yogurt is needed for one serving.
To find this, we convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:
2 1/4 = (2 x 4 + 1)/4 = 9/4
Now, we multiply the amount needed for one serving by the number of servings:
9/4 * 3 = 27/4
To find the mixed number in simplest form, we divide the numerator by the denominator:
27 ÷ 4 = 6 remainder 3
So, Sarah needs 6 3/4 cups of yogurt in total for three servings.
