Jada has picked 1 cup of strawberries for a cake, which is enough for ¾ of the cake. how many cups does she need for the whole cake?

she needs 1   cup  of strawberries

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of cups needed, we will simply solve using proportion

From the question, Jade picked  1 cup of strawberries for 3/4 of a cake

and we are asked to find the number of cups needed for a whole cake

Let x be the number of cups needed for the whole cake

      =      1 cup of strawberries

1 cake     =       x

Cross multiply

  ×  x     =    1  ×    1

   =   1

cross multiply

3x =4

To get the value of x, we simply divide both-side of the equation by 3

   =      

(On the left-hand side of the equation, 3 will cancel out 3 leaving us with x and on the right-hand side of the equation 4 will be divided by 3 which will give us 1 )

x =  1

Therefore  1  cup of strawberries is needed for the whole cake.
