Dwayne will multiply the amount of each ingredient of a brownie recipe by 4 to make brownies for a bake sale at school. If the recipe calls for 1/3 cup of oil to make all the brownies?

1 1/3 or 4/3 because multiply 1/3 times 4 and you will get your answer

Divide the total mount needed by 4 :

1/3 / 4 = 1/3 / 4/1 = 1/3 x 1/4 = 1/12 cup for the original recipe
