Question

Kelly was baking bread but could only find her ⅛ cup measuring cup. She needs ¼ cup sugar, ¾ cup whole wheat flour, and ½ cup all-purpose flour. How many ⅛ cups will she need for each ingredient?

Answer 1

Number of 1/8 cups of sugar needed = 2

Number of 1/8 cups of whole wheat flour needed = 6

Number of 1/8 cups of all purpose flour needed = 4

Explanation:

Recipes Kelly needs:

Sugar = 1/4 cups

Whole wheat flour = 3/4 cups

All purpose flour = 1/2 cups

She could only find her ⅛ cup measuring cup.

How many ⅛ cups will she need for each ingredient?

Number of 1/8 cups of sugar needed = cups of Sugar needed / 1/8 cups

= 1/4 ÷ 1/8

= 1/4 × 8/1

= 8/4

= 2

Number of 1/8 cups of sugar needed = 2

Number of 1/8 cups of whole wheat flour needed = cups of whole wheat flour needed / 1/8 cups

= 3/4 ÷ 1/8

= 3/4 × 8/1

= 24/4

= 6

Number of 1/8 cups of whole wheat flour needed = 6

Number of 1/8 cups of all purpose flour needed = cups of all purpose flour needed ÷ 1/8 cups

= 1/2 ÷ 1/8

= 1/2 × 8/1

= 8/2

= 4

Number of 1/8 cups of all purpose flour needed = 4
