Question

Jessica is baking a cake. The recipe says that she has to mix 96 grams of sugar into flour. Jessica knows that 1 cuo of this particular suger has a mass of 128 grams. She added 1/2 of a cup of sugar to the flour. Should Jessica add Moe sugar to make the exact recipe, or did she go over and by what amount

Answer 1

1 cup has 128 grams

so 1/2 cup would have 128/2 = 64 grams

she needed 96 so she needs to add more.

96-64 = 32 grams more

32 is half of 64 so she needs 1/4 cup more
