Question
Answer:
A recipe calls for 1 1/2 cups of flour, 3/4 cup of white sugar, and 1/3 cup of brown sugar. The recipe makes 6 servings.How many cups of flour are there per serving? Show your work.
1 1/2 = 3/2
3/2 x 1/6 = 3/12 = 1/4
answer 1/4 cup of flour per serving
How many total cups of sugar (white and brown) are there per serving? Show your work.
sugar = 3/4 +1/3 = 9/12 + 4/12 = 13/12 (6 servings)
1 serving = 13/12 x 1/6 = 13/72
answer
13/72 sugar (white and brown) per serving
Suppose you modify the recipe so that it makes 9 servings.
1/4 cup of flour per serving
so
9 x 1/4 = 9/4 = 2 1/4
