Question

How could you use 1/8 cup measuring cup to measure the light corn syrup 9/12)

Answer 1

What we can do in this case is to draw the number of cups of 1/8 that are needed to reach the measure of 9/12.
 We have then:
 (9/12) / (1/8)
 Applying double c:
 ((9) * (8)) / (12)
 Simplifying:
 ((9) * (2)) / (3)
 ((3) * (2)) / (1)
 (3) * (2)
 6
 Answer:
 It takes 6 cups of 1/8 to measure the light corn syrup 9/12
