The correct question is
<span>Javier is making a cake for a party. The recipe calls for 2 3/4 cups of flour, but he wants to triple the recipe. He guessed and put in 7 cups of flour. How many more cups of flour should he have used?

we know that
2 3/4 cups of flour------> (2*4+3)/4----> 11/4 cups
if he </span>wants to triple the recipe------> 3*(11/4)----> 33/4 ----> 8 1/4 cups required

8 1/4-7=1 1/4 cups

the answer is
1 1/4 cups
