You will need 6/4 cups of sugar, which also equals to 1 2/4 cup of sugar.

The answer is 1 2/4 cup because

6 people = 3/4 cup of sugar then ...

12 people = 6/4 (also 1 2/4) cup of sugar.

So the originally recipe serves six and you need to serve 12, so all you have to do is double the ingredients! (Multiply by 2) The question is asking about the sugar, multiply 3/4 cup of sugar by 2: 3/4 times 2/1 Multiply straight across to get 6/4. You can simplify this by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2. The answer is 3/2 cups of sugar or 1 and 1/2 cups of sugar
