Recipe calls for 2 3/4 cups of sugar, how much sugar is needed to make 1/3 of the recipe
To find out how much sugar is needed to make 1/3 of the recipe, you need to divide the original amount of sugar by 3.
2 3/4 cups of sugar can be simplified to 11/4 cups of sugar.
To find 1/3 of 11/4 cups of sugar, divide 11/4 by 3.
11/4 divided by 3 is 11/4 * 1/3 which equals 11/12.
Therefore, 1/3 of the recipe requires 11/12 cups of sugar.
To find out how much sugar is needed to make 1/3 of the recipe, we need to divide 2 3/4 cups by 3.
First, we need to convert 2 3/4 cups to an improper fraction:
2 = 2 * 4 (denominator) + 3 (numerator)
2 3/4 = (2 * 4 + 3)/4 = 11/4 cups
Now, we divide 11/4 cups by 3 to find the amount of sugar needed for 1/3 of the recipe:
(11/4) ÷ 3 = 11/4 ÷ 3/1 = 11/4 * 1/3 = 11/12
Therefore, you would need 11/12 cups of sugar to make 1/3 of the recipe.
