Arecipe calls for 3/4 cup of butter. angie wants to triple the recipe, but she has only 1 1/8 cups of butter how much does she need to borrow from the neighbor?

Hello there! Your answer would be: She needs to borrow  1 cups.

We first need to find how much she needs, & subtract it how much she has.

Okay, so we need to start by multiplying both sides of 3/4

× 3 =

Next, convert 4ths to 8ths by multiplying the denominator and numerator by .

× =

Now that we have that, let's convert what she has, 1 cups into a mixed fraction to make the subtraction easier.

Well, there's 1 whole and 1 leftover, so we are left with .

So, now we subtract   from .

- = .

Converting back into a mixed number, we get 1 cups left over, or, the amount that she needs to borrow. I hope this helps, and have a great rest of your day! <3
