Answer:

By using the
(1)/(8) cup twice

Explanation:

Data:

The recipe suggests
(2)/(8) cup.

However, the cup has only
(1)/(8) as the highest reading.

Thus the
(1)/(8) cup will be used x times to give
(2)/(8) starch

Using the equation:


(1)/(8)x = (2)/(8)


x = 2

So the cup can be used twice
