• A. $\frac{1}{8}$
• B. $\frac{3}{8}$
• C. $\frac{1}{2}$
• D. $\frac{3}{4}$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $\frac{3}{4}$

$\text{Amount of corn flour in 1 cup of soup}=\frac{1}{4}\text{cup}$

$\text{Amount of corn flour in 3 cups of soup}=3\times \frac{1}{4}\text{cups}=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{(1+1+1)}{4}=\frac{3}{4}\text{cup}$
