Question

A recipe calls for 3/4 cups of flour . Estevan wants to make 1/3 of the recipe how much flour will he need

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{1}{4} cups$

Step-by-step explanation:

If the total of the recipe requires 3/4 cups of flour, and Estevan wants to make only 1/3 of the recipe he just needs to do a rule of three in order to calculate how much cups of flour will he need:

$\frac{3}{4} =1\\x=\frac{1}{3}$

So you just create the next equation:

$x=(\frac{3}{4} )(\frac{1}{3}) =\frac{3*1}{3*4}=\frac{3}{12}=\frac{1}{4}$

So Estevan will only need 1/4 cups of flour to make 1/3 of the recipe.

Answer 2

1/3 × 3/4 = 1/4 :) hope this helped!
