Verified Answer :

According to my calculations the answer is 19.5 or 19.50 you can pick either one but your teacher will probably want the first.

\(1 \frac{3}{4}\)  x 6  (or \(\frac{6}{1}\)

Change 1 3/4 to an improper fraction = \(\frac{7}{4}\)

\(\frac{7}{4}\) x\(\frac{6}{1}\) = \(\frac{42}{4}\)  = 10 \(\frac{2}{4}\) cups 
Reduce the answer and get 10 \(\frac{1}{2}\) cups
