A recipe calls for 3 2/3 cups of flour. Earl used 7 1/3 cups. By how much did he increase the recipe
Answer:
Earl doubled the number of recipies due to amount of flour.
Step-by-step explanation:
A recipe needs \(3\,\frac{2}{3}\) cups of flour \(\left(\frac{11}{3}\right)\), whereas Earl made use of \(7 \,\frac{1}{3}\) cups \(\left(\frac{22}{3} \right)\). The number of equivalent recipies is determined by simple rule of three:
\(x = \frac{\frac{22}{3} }{\frac{11}{3} }\)
\(x = 2\,recipes\)
Earl doubled the number of recipies due to amount of flour.
