Answer:

the number of cups of strawberries needed in the recipe is ⁵/₄

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

cups of strawberries needed for the smoothies =  1 and 1/4 cups

To obtain the number of cups of strawberries needed in the recipe as a single fraction, the given mixed fractions will be converted into an improper fraction.

Note: Improper fractions are always greater than 1

Number of cups of strawberries [tex]=1 + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{4 + 1}{4} = \frac{5}{4}[/tex]

Therefore, the number of cups of strawberries needed in the recipe is ⁵/₄
