A recipe for a large of cookies calls for 3 1/4 cup of flour. Amos wants to make half of a batch of cookies. How much flour should he use
3 answers
Amos should use 1 5/8 cups of flour.
How do you know that?
3 1/4 = 2 5/4
so half of that is 1 5/8
or,
1/2 * 3 1/4 = 1/2 * 13/4 = 13/8 = 1 5/8
so half of that is 1 5/8
or,
1/2 * 3 1/4 = 1/2 * 13/4 = 13/8 = 1 5/8
