Question

To make banana bread, Colin uses 3 4 of a cup of brown sugar for every 2 cups of flour. How much brown sugar should Colin use to make a small batch with only 1 cup of flour?

Answer 1

`(3)/(8)` of a cup of brown sugar

Explanation:

2 cup flour =
`(3)/(4)` cup brown sugar

1 cup is half of 2, so to get the answer to the brown sugar, divide
`(3)/(4)` by 2

=
`(3)/(8)`
