A recipe calls for 5/8 cup butter. Angie wants to triple the recipe, but she has only 1 7/8 cups of butter. Howuch butter mus she barrow from a neighbor?

Respuesta :

Is 7/4 or 1 & 3/4 an answer?
[tex]\bf \cfrac{5}{8}\qquad tripled\implies 3\times \cfrac{5}{8}\implies \cfrac{3\times 5}{8}\implies \boxed{\cfrac{15}{8}}\\ --------------------\\ \textit{she only has }1\frac{7}{8}\textit{ well }1\frac{7}{8}\iff \cfrac{1\cdot 7+8}{8}[/tex]

so... how much does she have anyway?
