Llene is making smoothies.The recipe calls for 1 1/4 cups of strawberries, How many cups of strawberries, written as a fraction greater than one, are used in the recipe?

Verified Answer :

I think you're asking to rewrite this as an improper fraction (which are actually more useful than a mixed number in higher level classes). 

Multiply the denominator by the number in front of the fraction. 4 x 1= 4. 
Then add it to the numberator. 
4 + 1 = 5. 

So its 5/4

Answer:

\(\frac{5}{4}\)

Step-by-step explanation:

A fraction greater than one must meet the condition that the numerator is greater than the denominator. In fact, if we add 1 plus \(\frac{1}{4}\) (0.25), a value greater than one (1.25) is obtained.

To get the required fraction, we must make the following sum of fractions:

\(1+\frac{1}{4}=\)

\(\frac{1}{1}+\frac{1}{4}=\)

\(\frac{(\frac{4}{1}*1)+(\frac{4}{4}*1)}{4}=\)

\(\frac{4+1}{4}=\)

\(\frac{5}{4}\)

Hope this heps!
