Question

Write an expression for the amount of sugar Farid needs to make 1/2 of a batch of muffins.

Answer 1

She is making half batch only, So she will require the half amount of sugar which means we need to multiply 1/2 and 3/4

$\frac{1}{2} \div \frac{3}{4}$

$\frac{1×3}{2×4}$

$\frac{3}{8}$

She will require 0.375 cup of sugar for making 1/2 batch...~

Answer 2

Answer:

$\dfrac{3}{4} \ * \ \dfrac{1}{2}$

Explanation:

Full batch requires $\sf\frac{3}{4}$ cups of sugar.

she is making half the batch so we shall half it.

•  $\sf\frac{3}{4}$ ÷ 2 →  $\sf\frac{3}{8}$ → 0.375

note: we can write x ÷ 2, as  $* \ \sf\dfrac{x}{2}$
