Question

What quantity of apples would you need to make a triple recipe?

2 1/4 cups apples
2 cups sugar
2 3/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon oats
1 1/4 cups butter
2 teaspoons cinnamon

Write your answer in simplest form, using a slash ( / ) to separate the numerator and denominator.

Answer 1

if 2 1/4 cups of apples are needed for a single recipe, then a triple recipe would call for 3 times as many....

3 * 2 1/4 = 
3 * 9/4 = 
27/4 or 6 3/4 cups are needed for a triple recipe
