Question

A recipe calls for 3/4 cups of butter. Wanda wants to make half of the recipe. How many cups of butter does she need

Answer 1

you can't divide 3 in half so you have to convert the fraction into an equivalent fraction such as 6/8. since the recipe calls for 3/4 OR 6/8 cups of flour, wanda will need 3/8 cups of flour

Answer 2

3/8 cups of butte

Explanation:

She wants half of the recipe so that means 1/2 of the butter.

So it is 3/4 * 1/2 = 3/8 cups of butter.
