a recipe calls for 3 1/2 cups of flour and 3/4 cup of sugar. if you want to make a recipe with 6 cups of flour how much sugar will you need?

Answer:8 CupsStep-by-step explanation:72 is three times 24, the amount in the recipe. So multiply the recipe items each by 3  3  1/3   x    3  =    amount of flour  2  2/3    x   3   =    amount of sugar  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- HINT:  Multiply fractions, multiply the fraction denominator (is the bottom number) by the whole number, and then add it to the fraction's numerator (is the top number).  The      x   3 , the 3  is expressed 3/1  ____________________  10/3    x     3   =  (10  x  3)  divided by  3   =  10  or   10/3 x 3/1 = 30 divided by 3 = 10 cups of flour  8/3      x     3   =  (8   x  3)   divided by 3  =   8    or 8/3  x   3/1   =  24 divided by 3  = 8 cups of sugar
