Answer:

1 7/8 or 1.875 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be solved by adding the 3 fractions together

[tex]\frac{5}{8} + \frac{5}{8} + \frac{5}{8}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{5 + 5 + 5}{8}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{15}{8}[/tex] = [tex]1\frac{7}{8}[/tex]

Since the 3 cups added are the same size, this can also be solved by multiplication

5/8 x 3 = 1.875 cups = 1 7/8 cups
