Answer 2

KArl should use 3/16 cups of chili powder

Explanation:

Given that:

Recipe's requirement : 3/8 cups

Karl wants to use half : 1/2

The given question involves fractions. When the number of cups has to be divided into half, it will be multiplied with 1/2.

So,

Multiplying the chili powder requirement of the recipe to 1/2

`=(3)/(8) * (1)/(2)\\= (3)/(16)`

Hence,

KArl should use 3/16 cups of chili powder
