Q. Three-quarters plus three-quarters equals how many cups? \( \frac{3}{4} + \frac{3}{4} = \frac{6}{4} = \frac{3}{2} = 1\tfrac{1}{2} \) cups.

Answer

\(\frac{3}{4}+\frac{3}{4}=\frac{3+3}{4}=\frac{6}{4}=\frac{3}{2}=1\frac{1}{2}\text{ cups}.\)

Detailed Explanation

Problem

Add the two amounts: \( \frac{3}{4} + \frac{3}{4} \)

Step 1 — Write the sum

Both fractions have the same denominator, so add the numerators and keep the common denominator:

\( \frac{3}{4} + \frac{3}{4} = \frac{3+3}{4} = \frac{6}{4} \)

Step 2 — Simplify the fraction

Find the greatest common divisor of 6 and 4, which is 2. Divide numerator and denominator by 2:

\( \frac{6}{4} = \frac{6 \div 2}{4 \div 2} = \frac{3}{2} \)

Step 3 — Convert to a mixed number

Express the improper fraction \( \frac{3}{2} \) as a mixed number. Divide 3 by 2: quotient 1, remainder 1, so

\( \frac{3}{2} = 1 \tfrac{1}{2} \)

Step 4 — Convert to decimal (optional)

The mixed number \( 1 \tfrac{1}{2} \) equals 1.5 in decimal form:

\( 1 \tfrac{1}{2} = 1.5 \)

Final answer

\( \frac{3}{4} + \frac{3}{4} = 1 \tfrac{1}{2} \) cups (which is 1.5 cups)

FAQs

What is \(\frac{3}{4} + \frac{3}{4}\) in cups?

\(\frac{3}{4} + \frac{3}{4} = \frac{6}{4} = \frac{3}{2}\) cups, which is \(1\frac{1}{2}\) cups or 1.5 cups.

How do you add fractions with the same denominator?

Add numerators and keep the denominator: \(\frac{a}{d} + \frac{b}{d} = \frac{a+b}{d}\). Then simplify, e.g., \(\frac{3}{4} + \frac{3}{4} = \frac{6}{4} = \frac{3}{2}\).

How do I measure \(1\frac{1}{2}\) cups with common measuring cups?

Use 1 cup + 1/2 cup, or three 1/2-cup measures (1/2 + 1/2 + 1/2), or two 3/4-cup measures (3/4 + 3/4).

How many tablespoons and fluid ounces is \(\frac{3}{2}\) cups?

1 cup = 16 tablespoons = 8 fl oz, so \(\frac{3}{2}\) cups = 24 tablespoons = 12 fluid ounces.

How do you simplify \(\frac{6}{4}\)?

Divide numerator and denominator by their GCD (2): \(\frac{6}{4} = \frac{3}{2}\), which is \(1\frac{1}{2}\) as a mixed number.

If a recipe calls for \(\frac{3}{4}\) cup and I double it, how much do I use?

If a recipe calls for \(\frac{3}{4}\) cup and I double it, how much do I use?

How do I add \(\frac{3}{4}\) cup and \(\frac{1}{3}\) cup?

Find a common denominator (12): \(\frac{3}{4}=\frac{9}{12}\), \(\frac{1}{3}=\frac{4}{12}\). Sum \(= \frac{13}{12}=1\frac{1}{12}\) cups.

How many milliliters is \(\frac{3}{2}\) cups?

Using the common cooking conversion 1 cup \(\approx\) 240 mL, \(\frac{3}{2}\) cups \(\approx\) 360 mL (if using 236.588 mL per cup, it's \(\approx\) 354.9 mL).
3/4 + 3/4 = 1 1/2 cups for recipes.
