Question

Victoria needs sugar for a certain recipe. The original recipe calls for 2/3 cup sugar. However, victoria wants to make a recipe that is 3 1/2 ties larger. What is the distributive property to find the product.

Answer 1

1 Normal sized recipe - 2/3 cups of sugar
3 & 1/2 ties larger recipe - 2/3*(3 1/2) cups of sugar
7/2 ties larger recipe - 2/3*7/2 cups of sugar
- 7/3 cups of sugar


So, 7/3 i.e 2 1/3 cups of sugar will be required.
