There are 7/8 cups of sugar in a canister in the kitchen Ms Johnson used one half of the sugar when she was prepared and dessert for a daughter's birthday cake how much sugar did she use

Answer 1

To find out how much sugar Ms. Johnson used, we need to calculate one half of the 7/8 cups of sugar.

To do this, we multiply \( \frac{7}{8} \) by \( \frac{1}{2} \):

\[ \frac{7}{8} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{7 \times 1}{8 \times 2} = \frac{7}{16} \]

So, Ms. Johnson used \( \frac{7}{16} \) cups of sugar for the dessert.
