Question

now find how many cups are equivalent to 28 tablespoons of sugar.
cups: 0, \frac{1}{4}, \frac{1}{2}, 1, 1\frac{1}{2}, \square, \square, \square, 2, 2\frac{1}{4}
tablespoons: 0, 4, 8, 16, 24, 28, 32, 36

Explanation:

Step1: Identify conversion ratio

From the number lines, 1 cup = 16 tablespoons, so 1 tablespoon = $\frac{1}{16}$ cups.

Step2: Calculate cups for 28 tbsp

Multiply 28 by the conversion factor.
$28 \times \frac{1}{16} = \frac{28}{16} = \frac{7}{4} = 1\frac{3}{4}$

Answer:

$1\frac{3}{4}$
