Answer:
8 Cups
Step-by-step explanation:
72 is three times 24, the amount in the recipe.
So multiply the recipe items each by 3
3 1/3 x 3 = amount of flour
2 2/3 x 3 = amount of sugar
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
HINT:
Multiply fractions, multiply the fraction denominator (is the bottom number) by the whole number, and then add it to the fraction's numerator (is the top number).
The x 3 , the 3 is expressed 3/1
____________________
10/3 x 3 = (10 x 3) divided by 3 = 10
or 10/3 x 3/1 = 30 divided by 3 = 10 cups of flour
8/3 x 3 = (8 x 3) divided by 3 = 8
or 8/3 x 3/1 = 24 divided by 3 = 8 cups of sugar
