Answer 2

Answer:

KArl should use 3/16 cups of chili powder

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Recipe's requirement : 3/8 cups

Karl wants to use half : 1/2

The given question involves fractions. When the number of cups has to be divided into half, it will be multiplied with 1/2.

So,

Multiplying the chili powder requirement of the recipe to 1/2

$=\frac{3}{8} * \frac{1}{2}\\= \frac{3}{16}$

Hence,

KArl should use 3/16 cups of chili powder
