Answer: B. 3 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are told that Joanna is making a recipe that uses 1 1/2 teaspoon of salt for every 2 cups of sugar. Since, uses 1 1/2 teaspoon of salt for every 2 cups of sugar, 1 cup of sugar will use 1/2 of 1 1/2 teaspoon of salt. This will be:
= 1/2 × 1 1/2
= 1/2 × 3/2
= 3/4 teaspoon of salt.
We then multiply the value used for a cup of sugar by 5 since Joanna increases the recipe to use 5 cups of sugar. This will be:
= 3/4 × 5
= 15/4
= 3 3/4
