Gretchen Holden · Answer 1

If you would like to know how many cups of flour should be used in the cake, you can calculate this using the following steps:

the recipe: 3 1/4 cups of flour

5 times larger cake: 5 * 3 1/4 = 5 * 13/4 = 65/4 = 16 1/4 cups of flour

Result: Troy should use 16 1/4 cups of flour in the cake.

Gerardo Galloway · Answer 2

Break it up. multiply 3 by 5 to get 15. then multiply 1/4 by 5 to get 1 1/4. add 15 and 1 1/4 to get 16 1/4.
