Answer:
[tex]\frac{51}{8}[/tex] cups.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that the ingredients for making chocolate cookies are [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] cup of brown sugar, [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] cup of white sugar, [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] cup of butter, [tex]\frac{11}{8}[/tex] cup of flour, and [tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex] cup of chocolate chips.
Now, we have to calculate the total number of cups of ingredients needed in making chocolate cookies.
So, it will be given by
[tex](\frac{3}{4} + \frac{1}{4} + \frac{3}{2} + \frac{11}{8} + \frac{5}{2})[/tex] cups
= [tex]\frac{3 \times 2 + 1 \times 2 + 3 \times 4 + 11 + 5 \times 4}{8}[/tex] cups
= [tex]\frac{51}{8}[/tex] cups. (Answer)
