Question

Jimmy is using a recipe that calls for 3/4 cup of flour. He only has a 1/8 of a cup measure spoon. How many spoons of the 1/8 will he need to be equivalent to 3/4?

Answer 1

He needs 6 more spoons

Explanation:

Since Jimmy needs 3/4 cups of flour and only has 1/8 cups as his measuring spoon, we can do 3/4 = x/8

Now, we need to make the denominator the same, so we will multiply 2 from the numerator and denominator in 3/4.

Afterwards, the equation would be : 6/8 = x/8

x = 6

Answer 2

Answer: 6 of 1/8 cups
