Question

Priya has picked 1 1/2 cups of raspberries, which is enough for 34 of a cake. How many cups does she need for the whole cake?

Answer 1

She needs 2 cups of raspberries.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Priya has picked 1 1/2 cups of raspberries, which is enough for 3/4 of a cake.

So this can be written as:

`1(1)/(2) \text{ Raspberries}=(3)/(4)\text{ Cake}`

`(3)/(2) \text{ Raspberries}=(3)/(4)\text{ Cake}`

Multiply both the sides by
`(4)/(3)`.

`(4)/(3)*(3)/(2) \text{ Raspberries}=(4)/(3)*(3)/(4)\text{ Cake}`

2 Raspberries = 1 cake

Hence, she needs 2 cups of raspberries.
