Following are the calculation of cups of sugar:
Given:
[tex]1 \frac{1}{4}[/tex] cups sugar makes [tex]20[/tex] cookies
To find:
calculate cups of sugar in making 14 cookies.
Solution:
[tex]1 \frac{1}{4}[/tex] cups sugar makes [tex]20[/tex] cookies
Which applies:
[tex]\to \frac{5}{4}[/tex] cups sugar makes [tex]20[/tex] cookies
For 14 cookies calculating the total cups:
Assuming the cups of sugar=x
then
[tex]\to x=((\frac{5}{4})\times 14) \div 20\\\\\to x=(\frac{70}{4}) \div 20\\\\\to x=( 17.5) \div 20\\\\\to x=\frac{17.5}{20}\\\\\to x= 0.875[/tex]
Therefore, the final answer is "0.875".
