Sarah is making a healthy smoothie for breakfast. Her recipe includes 2 1/4 cups of yogurt. Sarah wants to make 3 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 needed, Sarah needs to multiply the amount of yogurt per serving by the number of servings.
Sarah needs 2 1/4 cups of yogurt per serving.
In fraction form, this is 9/4 cups of yogurt per serving.
To find the total amount of yogurt needed for 3 servings, Sarah needs to multiply 9/4 by 3.
(9/4) x 3 = 27/4
So, Sarah needs 27/4 cups of yogurt in total.
In simplest form, 27/4 can be simplified to 6 3/4.
Therefore, Sarah needs a total of 6 3/4 cups of yogurt. Answer: \boxed{6 \frac{3}{4}}.
