Mary added [tex]$24 \frac{1}{2}[/tex] cups of sugar.
How to estimate how much sugar should Mary add?
The ratio of flour to sugar exists at 9 cups: 2 4/7 cups
Utilizing equivalent ratios, given that 7 cups of sugar was utilized,
Let cups of flour needed = x such that our equation becomes
flour/sugar[tex]$ =\frac{9}{2\frac{4}{7} }=\frac{x}{7}[/tex]
[tex]$ \frac{9}{2\frac{4}{7} }=\frac{x}{7}[/tex]
Convert mixed numbers into improper fractions
[tex]$2 \frac{4}{7}= \frac{18}{7}[/tex]
simplifying the above equation, we get
[tex]$\frac{9}{\frac{18}{7} } = \frac{x}{7}[/tex]
= [tex]$24 \frac{1}{2}[/tex]
x = 24.5
The value of x = 24.5.
Therefore, [tex]$24 \frac{1}{2}[/tex] cups of sugar exist required.
