Question

Hemal wanted to make dessert for her family. The recipe made 8 servings, but she only wanted to make enough for 5 people. If the recipe for 8 servings called for 2 cups of flour, how much flour would she need for 5 servings?

Answer 1

If 8 servings called for 2 cups. 4 servings calls for 1 cup. Then you would need one more serving of 1/4.
So the answers is: You would need 1 and 1/4 cups of water for 5 servings.
