Question

A recipe requires 5/6 of a cup of sugar. If mrs.Marina is going to make one half of the recipe, how much sugar does she need

Answer 1

Answer:

$Half\ of\ the\ recipe\ requires\ \frac{5}{12}\ of\ a\ cup\ of\ sugar.$

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

$A\ recipe\ requires\ \frac{5}{6}\ of\ a\ cup\ of\ sugar.$

i.e

$\frac{5}{6}\ cup\ of\ sugar = 1\ recipe$

As the  mrs.Marina is going to make one half of the recipe .

$Thus\ multiply\ above\ by\ \frac{1}{2}.$

We get

$\frac{5\times 1}{6\times 2}\ cup\ of\ sugar = \frac{1}{2}\ recipe$

solving the above

$\frac{5}{12}\ cup\ of\ sugar = \frac{1}{2}\ recipe$

$Therefore\ half\ of\ the\ recipe\ requires\ \frac{5}{12}\ of\ a\ cup\ of\ sugar.$
