just explain how you got your answer ?
A recipe calls for 2 1/3 cups of sugar.you want to double your recipe.how many cups of sugar do you need?
A.3 2/3
B.4
C.4 1/3
D.4 2/3
To solve this problem, we need to first determine how much sugar is needed for one batch of the recipe and then double that amount.
The original recipe calls for 2 1/3 cups of sugar. To double the recipe, we multiply this amount by 2.
2 1/3 * 2 = 4 2/3 cups
Therefore, the answer is D. 4 2/3 cups of sugar.
2( 2 + 1/3) = 4 + 2/3 = 4 2/3 = D
