Question

A recipe for cupcakes calls for 3⁄4 of a cup of sugar and 2 cups of flour. If you want to make a bigger batch, using 3 cups of flour, how much sugar will you need? Write your answer as a fraction of a cup.

Answer 1

since the sugar:flour ratio is constant,
(3/4):2 = x:3
or,
3/4 * 3 = 2x
x = 9/8

Answer 2

its wrong

Answer 3

While making cupcakes for class you realize the recipe needs to be 3 1/4
times bigger. The recipe uses 2/3
cups of flour. So how much do you need total?

Answer 4

it wrong

Answer 5

wrong

Answer 6

To make the recipe 3 1/4 times bigger, we need to multiply all the ingredients by 3 1/4.

So, for flour, we have:

2/3 cup * 3 1/4 = 2/3 cup * 13/4 = 26/12 cup = 13/6 cup

Therefore, we need 13/6 cups of flour for the bigger batch of cupcakes.

Answer 7

I apologize for the mistake in my previous answer.

To make the recipe 3 times bigger, we need to multiply all the ingredients by 3.

So, for sugar, we have:

3/4 cup * 3 = 9/4 cups

Therefore, we need 9/4 cups of sugar for the bigger batch of cupcakes.

Answer 8

I apologize for the continued errors in my responses. I will try to provide a correct solution.

If the original recipe uses 2 cups of flour and 3/4 cup of sugar, and we want to make a bigger batch using 3 cups of flour, we can use a proportion:

sugar/flour = 3/4 : 2

We can find the amount of sugar needed for 3 cups of flour by solving for sugar:

sugar/3 = (3/4)/2

sugar/3 = 3/8

sugar = (3/8) * 3

sugar = 9/8

Therefore, we need 9/8 cup of sugar for the bigger batch of cupcakes.
