A recipe calls for 3 2/3 cups of flour. Earl used 7 1/3 cups. By how much did he increase the recipe

Respuesta :

3 2/3 =3.66
7 1/3 =7.33
7.33-3.66=3.77

Answer:

Earl doubled the number of recipies due to amount of flour.

Step-by-step explanation:

A recipe needs [tex]3\,\frac{2}{3}[/tex] cups of flour [tex]\left(\frac{11}{3}\right)[/tex], whereas Earl made use of [tex]7 \,\frac{1}{3}[/tex] cups [tex]\left(\frac{22}{3} \right)[/tex]. The number of equivalent recipies is determined by simple rule of three:

[tex]x = \frac{\frac{22}{3} }{\frac{11}{3} }[/tex]

[tex]x = 2\,recipes[/tex]

Earl doubled the number of recipies due to amount of flour.
