Question

Sister act baked muffins she added 1/2 cup of sugar to the muffin batter and then divided the batter equally into 12 sections of the muffin pan what fraction of a cup of sugar will each muffin contain

Answer 1

Each muffin will contain
`(1)/(24) \ cups` of sugar.

Explanation:

Given:

Sugar content in the batter =
`(1)/(2)\ cup`

Number of sections batter was divided = 12

We need to find the fraction of a cup of sugar content in each muffin.

Solution:

Now according to given data Batter was divided in 12 sections of the pan.

So we can say the number of muffins baked = 12

Now we know that;

Sugar content in each muffin can be calculated by dividing Sugar content in the batter with the number of sections batter was divided.

framing in equation form we get;

sugar content in each muffin =
`((1)/(2))/(12) = (1)/(2* 12)=(1)/(24) \ cups`

Hence Each muffin will contain
`(1)/(24) \ cups` of sugar.
