A recipe calls for 3/4 cups of flour . Estevan wants to make 1/3 of the recipe how much flour will he need
Answer:
\(\frac{1}{4} cups\)
Step-by-step explanation:
If the total of the recipe requires 3/4 cups of flour, and Estevan wants to make only 1/3 of the recipe he just needs to do a rule of three in order to calculate how much cups of flour will he need:
\(\frac{3}{4} =1\\x=\frac{1}{3}\)
So you just create the next equation:
\(x=(\frac{3}{4} )(\frac{1}{3}) =\frac{3*1}{3*4}=\frac{3}{12}=\frac{1}{4}\)
So Estevan will only need 1/4 cups of flour to make 1/3 of the recipe.
