Arecipe calls for 2 3/4 cups of milk and if the recipe is tripled how much milk is needed

Here are two ways of solving this problem.

Method A. Using fractions.

You will need 3 times as much milk, so you need to multiply 3 by 2 3/4.

First, convert 2 3/4 into an improper fraction.

2 3/4 = 2 + 3/4 = 2/1 + 3/4 = 8/4 + 3/4 = 11/4

Now multiply 11/4 by 3.

3 * 11/4 = 3/1 * 11/4 = 33/4

Now convert 33/4 into a mixed numeral.

33/4 = 8 1/4

8 1/4

Method B. Using decimals.

You will need 3 times as much milk, so you need to multiply 3 by 2 3/4.

First, convert 2 3/4 into a decimal number.

2 3/4 = 2.75

Now multiply 2.75 by 3.

3 * 2.75 = 8.25

Now convert 8.25 into a mixed numeral.

8.25 = 8 + 0.25 = 8 + 1/4 = 8 1/4

8 1/4
