Trina uses 1/2 of sugar and 3/4 cup of flour in a recipe. How many cups of sugar would she need if she uses 3 cups of flour?
Answer:
\(2\ cups\ of\ sugar\)
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
Trina uses \(1/2\) cup of sugar and \(3/4\) cup of flour in a recipe
so
by proportion
Find how many cups of sugar would she need if she uses \(3\) cups of flour
\(\frac{(1/2)}{(3/4)}\frac{cups\ of\ sugar}{cups\ of\ flour}=\frac{x}{3}\frac{cups\ of\ sugar}{cups\ of\ flour}\\ \\ x=3*(1/2)/(3/4)\\ \\x=2\ cups\ of\ sugar\)
