Question

2. Emile will use less than 1/2 cup sugar fora recipe. What fraction of a cup mightEmile use? Explain.

Answer 1

Any lesser than 1/2 like 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, etc.

1) Since Emile is going to use any fraction lesser than 1/2, for example:

`\begin{gathered} x\text{ <}(1)/(2) \\ (1)/(3),\text{ }(1)/(4),\text{ }(1)/(5),\text{ }(1)/(6)\text{ etc.} \end{gathered}`

2) So any fraction lesser than 1/2 with the denominator greater than 2, and a numerator equal to 1 can be used by Emile.

3) So Emile might use, a 1/3 or a 1/4, 1/5 or 1/6, etc...
