A pie recipe calls for 2/3 Cup of sugar to make a pie. How many cups will be needed to make five pies? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Respuesta :

To find the number of cups of sugar which will make five pies, we proceed as follows:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \sin ce\colon \\ \frac{2}{3}\text{cups}\Rightarrow\text{ 1 pie} \\ m\text{ ultiply both sides of the equivalence by 5, since we want to make 5 pies} \\ 5\times\frac{2}{3}cups=\text{>5}\times1p\text{ie} \\ \frac{10}{3}\text{cups}\Rightarrow5p\text{ies} \\ 3.33\text{cups}=>5p\text{ies} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, to the nearest hundredth, we will be needing 3.33 cups of sugar in order to make 5 pies.
