Question

How could you use 1/8 cup measuring cup to measure the light corn syrup 9/12)

Answer 1

To measure 9/12 or 3/4 of a cup of syrup using a 1/8 cup, fill and level-off the 1/8 cup measuring cup six times. This uses basic fraction multiplication and measurement skills appropriate for middle school mathematics.

Step-by-step explanation:

To measure light corn syrup using a 1/8 cup measuring cup, you first need to understand the fraction you're working with, which is 9/12 of a cup. Simplifying this fraction gives you 3/4 of a cup (since 9/12 reduces to 3/4 by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 3). Now, since there are 8 portions of 1/8 in a full cup, you need 6 portions of 1/8 (because 3/4 equals 6/8) to measure out 3/4 of a cup of light corn syrup.

To do this, you'll fill the 1/8 cup measuring cup six times and add each portion to your mixture to reach the desired amount of 9/12 or 3/4 of a cup of syrup. This is a simple example of using measurements and fractions to achieve the correct proportions in a recipe or any culinary preparation.

Answer 2

What we can do in this case is to draw the number of cups of 1/8 that are needed to reach the measure of 9/12.
We have then:
(9/12) / (1/8)
Applying double c:
((9) * (8)) / (12)
Simplifying:
((9) * (2)) / (3)
((3) * (2)) / (1)
(3) * (2)
6
Answer:
It takes 6 cups of 1/8 to measure the light corn syrup 9/12
