Question

If you only have a 1/6 measuring cup and a recipe calls for 13 1/6 cups of flour, how many 1/6 cups would you need to use?

Answer 1

You have a 1/6 measuring cup, and you need 6 of it to have 1 full cup.

The recipe needs 13 and 1/6 cups.

Since for every 1 full cup, you will need 6 times of 1/6 measuring cup.

Multiply this by 13, we have :

6 x 13 = 78

You will need 78 times of 1/6 in order to have 13 cups and another 1 of 1/6 measuring cup.

Therefore, the answer is 78 + 1 = 79
