A recipe calls for three-quarter cup of sugar in 1/2 cup of brown sugar. You are reducing the recipe. You will use 1/6 cup of brown sugar. How much sugar will you use?

Respuesta :

Answer:

1/4 cup

Step-by-step explanation:

1/6 of a cup is the original half cup divided by 3. This means you need to also divide the 3/4 cup of sugar by 3 too.

[tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] ÷ 3

[tex]\frac{3}{4}*\frac{1}{3} = \frac{3}{12}=\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
