Question

Linda Gramham's Cinnamon Sugar Graham Cupcake recipe for 36 cupcakes requires 1 1/4 cups of sugar. How much sugar is required for 900 cupcakes? Reduce to lowest terms.

Answer 1

Answer:

31.25 or 31  1/4 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

1  1/4 = 36

x = 900

=> 5/4 = 36

    x = 900

Cross multiply

=> 5/4 * 900 = 36 * x

=> 4500/4 = 36x

=> 1125 = 36x

=> 1125 / 36 = 36x / 36

=> 31.25 = x

31.25 = 31  1/4

So, 31.25 or 31 1/4 cups are required for 900 cupcakes.
