Question

Mr. Morales make four batches of cookies for family math night. He divides half of butter equally into 4 mixing bowls. How much butter is in each bowl?

Answer 1

1/8 of the initial butter quantity

Explanation:

When Mr. Morales divides equally half of the butter into four mixing bowls we can say they each bowl has 1/4 of the half butter but we need to consider that this quantity is only the half of the butter, therefore:

`(1)/(4)*(1)/(2)=(1)/(8)`

We have 1/8 of the initial butter in each of the mixing bowls!
