Answer 2

The correct answer option is D) 1/24 cup.

Explanation:

We are given that Ashley uses
`(1)/(2)` cup of melted butter spread equally on 12 slices of toast.

We are to find the amount of melted butter on each toast.

For this, we simply need to divide the amount of melted butter used by the total number of slices.

Melted butter on each toast =
`((1)/(2) )/(12) = (1)/(2) * (1)/(12) =(1)/(24)` cup.
