Question

Jessica is baking a cake. The recipe says that she has to mix 96 grams of sugar to the flour. Jessica knows that 1 cup of this particular sugar has a mass of 128 grams. She added one over two of a cup of sugar to the flour. Should Jessica add more sugar to make the exact recipe, or did she go over and by what amount?

Answer 1

1/2 of 128 is 64, so she added 64 grams of sugar, which means she still needs to add more sugar. 96 - 64 is 32, so she still needs to add 32 grams of sugar. Hope this helps!
