If the recipe is doubled, you need to double the amount of sugar.
Starting with 3/4 cup of sugar:
\[
\text{Doubled amount} = 2 \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{2 \times 3}{4} = \frac{6}{4} = \frac{3}{2} = 1 \frac{1}{2} \, \text{cups}
\]
So, if the recipe is doubled, you will need **1 1/2 cups** of sugar.
