Okay. So, based off of that, if you divide 1 1/2 (3/2) by 3/4, 3/2 * 4/3 is 12/6 or 2. 1/2 cups of raspberries is needed for each fourth of the cake. 1/2 * 4 = 2. Lin will need 2 cups of raspberries for the whole cake.
The question is a little vague but I believe the answer would be 16. 16 divided in half is 8. And that is 8 less than 16. < Not the answer for this question.
I didn't understand the question until Maria answered, she is completely right! Sorry for the misunderstanding.
