Sarah is making a healthy smoothie for breakfast. Her recipe includes 2 1/4 cups of yogurt. Sarah wants to make 3 servings. How much yogurt does she need in total? Convert the answer to a mixed number in simplest form. ()

Answer 1

To find the total amount of yogurt needed, Sarah needs to multiply the amount of yogurt per serving by the number of servings.

Sarah needs 2 1/4 cups of yogurt per serving.

In fraction form, this is 9/4 cups of yogurt per serving.

To find the total amount of yogurt needed for 3 servings, Sarah needs to multiply 9/4 by 3.

(9/4) x 3 = 27/4

So, Sarah needs 27/4 cups of yogurt in total.

In simplest form, 27/4 can be simplified to 6 3/4.

Therefore, Sarah needs a total of 6 3/4 cups of yogurt. Answer: \boxed{6 \frac{3}{4}}.
