Answer:
\(5\frac{1}{4}\) cups flour
Step-by-step explanation:
A recipe calls for amount of flour = \(1\frac{3}{4}\) cups
= \(\frac{7}{4}\) cups
If the recipe is tripled this means if the recipe becomes 3 times in amount.
Flour is needed = \(\frac{7}{4}\) × 3
= \(\frac{7\times 3}{4}\)
= \(\frac{21}{4}\)
= \(5\frac{1}{4}\) cups
\(5\frac{1}{4}\) cups flour is needed.
