Answer:

  • To make half the recipe, we will need 3/8 Parmesan cheese.

Explanation:

We know that:

  • Cesar Salad = 3/4 Parmesan cheese

To make 1/2 the recipe, we need to change everything in halves.

Work:

  • Cesar Salad = 3/4 Parmesan cheese
  • => Cesar Salad/2 = 3/4 รท 2 Parmesan cheese
  • => Cesar Salad/2 = 3/4 x 1/2 Parmesan cheese
  • => Cesar Salad/2 = 3/8 Parmesan cheese

Hence, to make half the recipe, we will need 3/8 Parmesan cheese.
