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. (1 point)
To find out how much yogurt Sarah needs in total, you need to multiply the amount of yogurt per serving by the number of servings.
The amount of yogurt per serving is 2 1/4 cups.
To multiply a whole number by a mixed number, you first convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.
2 1/4 = 9/4
Now, you can multiply the improper fraction by the number of servings.
9/4 * 3 = 27/4
To simplify the answer, you can divide the numerator and denominator by the greatest common factor, which is 1.
27/4 = 6 3/4
Therefore, Sarah needs a total of 6 3/4 cups of yogurt.
