Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To answer this, first add up the volume of the first three ingredients. Then multiply the result by 3/8:
3 2/3 + 2 1/4 + 2 3/4
Here the LCD is 12.
Convert each of these mixed numbers into improper fractions:
11/3 + 9/4 + 11/4
Combine 9/4 and 11/4 to get 20/4. This happens to be equal to 5.
All we have to do now is to add 3 2/3 to 5, obtaining 8 2/3.
We now multiply this result by 3/8:
3 26
---- * -------- = 13/4. This 13/4, rewritten as a mixed number, is 3 1/4 (cups).
8 3
The third answer (C) is the correct one.
