Question

Arianna needs 3/4 cup of flour to bake a batch of cupcakes. she has 1/2 cup of flour. what fraction of a batch can Arianna bake?

Answer 1

She can bake 3/8 of a batch of cupcakes.

Explanation:

If she only has 1/2 of the flour and you are trying to find the fraction of a batch she can make, you are essentially trying to figure out what is 1/2 of 3/4, which is basically just multiplying 1/2 by 3/4. This would get you the answer of 3/8. Hope this helps:)
