Question

A recipe used 2/3 of sugar for every 2 teaspoons of vanilla.how much sugar was used per teaspoon of vanilla.

Answer 1

Hi there,

The answer is 1/3 cup per teaspoon. Here’s how...


All you have to do is divided 2/3 by 2.

We have to put a 1 under the 2 to at least represent it as a fraction.

2/3 / 2/1

Next we flip 2/1 into 1/2.

2/3 / 1/2

Now we are going to multiply.

2x1=2

3x2=6

We get 2/6, simplifying that we get 1/3 cup per teaspoon.
