Question

A bread recipe calls for 13 cup of butter. You want to make 12 of a batch. How much butter do you need

a) 5 2/3 cups
b) 6 2/3 cups
c) 7 1/3 cups
d) 8 1/3 cups

Answer 1

To make 1/2 of the batch of bread, you would need 6 1/2 cups of butter.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much butter you need for 1/2 of the batch, you can multiply the amount of butter needed for the full batch by 1/2. The recipe calls for 13 cups of butter for the full batch, so for 1/2 of the batch you would need:

13 cups × 1/2 = 6 1/2 cups

So the correct choice is 6 1/2 cups (option b).
