No. Please try again.

I added 1.25 and 3 and got 1.28
Then I multiplyed by 5. I don't know If i did it right or If I'm suppose to do that
Answered by Ms. Sue
1.25 + 3 = 4.25

4.25 / 2 = 2.125

2.125 * 5 = ?

Answered by Mica
Does / mean to divide and * mean to multiply?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Yes.

Answered by Mica
Dont I divide it with 5? so it would be 4.25/5?
Answered by Ms. Sue
No. You need the total amount of sugar for 5 batches of brownies.

Think about it. One recipe alone calls for 3 cups of sugar. Five recipes can't be less than 3 cups.
