Question

Alvin was making chicken parmesan, but he only wanted to make 1/2 of the recipe. If the whole recipe called for 1/2 of a cup of bread crumbs, how many cups will he need to make 1/2 of the recipe?

Answer 1

1/4 cup

Explanation:

To make half a recipe, each of the quantities in the recipe must be multiplied by 1/2. Alvin will need ...
