Question

A recipe for cookies calls for 1 cup of butter, twice as much sugar as butter, and three times as much flour as sugar. How many cups of flour will you need if you halve the recipe? (Hint: Halving an amount is the same as dividing the amount by 2)

Answer 1

You would need 3 cups of flour because 1*2 is 2 and 2*3 is 6 and 6 divided by 2 is 3
