To find out how many cups of sugar are required to make the cake, we need to add together the amount of sugar needed for the batter and the icing.

The recipe calls for 3/4 cup of sugar for the batter.
+
The recipe calls for 2/3 cup of sugar for the icing.

Adding these fractions together:

3/4 + 2/3 = (9/12) + (8/12) = 17/12

The sum of these fractions is 17/12. However, we need to express this as a whole number mixed with a fraction (if applicable).

17/12 = 1 (5/12)

So, to make the cake, you would need 1 and 5/12 cups of sugar.

Apologies for the incorrect response. Let's solve it correctly.

The recipe calls for 3/4 cup of sugar for the batter and 2/3 cup of sugar for the icing. To find the total amount of sugar required, we add these two fractions together:

3/4 + 2/3 = 9/12 + 8/12 = 17/12

Therefore, the total amount of sugar required to make the cake is 17/12 cups.

Apologies for the mistake. Let's solve it correctly this time.

The recipe calls for 3/4 cup of sugar for the batter and 2/3 cup of sugar for the icing. To find the total amount of sugar required, we need to add these two fractions together:

3/4 + 2/3

To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The lowest common denominator for 4 and 3 is 12.

Multiplying the numerator and denominator of 3/4 by 3, we get 9/12.

Multiplying the numerator and denominator of 2/3 by 4, we get 8/12.

Now we can add the fractions:

9/12 + 8/12 = 17/12

Therefore, the total amount of sugar required to make the cake is 17/12 cups.
