To find the total amount of sugar required to make the cupcakes, we need to add the amount of sugar for the batter and the icing.
Amount of sugar for the batter = 3/4 cup
Amount of sugar for the icing = 2/3 cup
To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The smallest common multiple of 4 and 3 is 12.
Amount of sugar for the batter and icing = (3/4) + (2/3)
= (9/12) + (8/12)
= 17/12
Therefore, 17/12 of a cup of sugar is required to make the cupcakes.
