Question

To make banana bread, Colin uses 3 4 of a cup of brown sugar for every 2 cups of flour. How much brown sugar should Colin use to make a small batch with only 1 cup of flour?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{3}{8}$ of a cup of brown sugar

Step-by-step explanation:

2 cup flour = $\frac{3}{4}$ cup brown sugar

1 cup is half of 2, so to get the answer to the brown sugar, divide $\frac{3}{4}$ by 2

= $\frac{3}{8}$
