Question

Daniel filled 1/4 cup scoop 2 times with nuts for a recipe which size measuring cup could daniel have filed one time to have the same amount for the recipe.

Answer 1

`Size= (1)/(2)\ cup`

Explanation:

Given

`Size = (1)/(4)\ cup`

`Scoop = 2`

Required

Determine the size of cup for 1 scoop

For two scoops, we have:

`Recipe = (1)/(4)+ (1)/(4)`

Take LCM

`Recipe = (1+1)/(4)`

`Recipe = (2)/(4)`

`Recipe = (1)/(2)`

This implies that, the amount of recipe is 1/2

If he uses a cup of size 1/2, he would only need 1 scoop.

Hence:

`Size= (1)/(2)\ cup`
