To find the amount of cinnamon needed for each small cake, Jerri should divide the total amount of cinnamon required for the large cake by the number of small cakes she wants to make.
Total amount of cinnamon for one large cake = 1/3 tablespoon
Number of small cakes = 4
Cinnamon for each small cake = (1/3 tablespoon) / (4 small cakes)
Cinnamon for each small cake = 1/3 tablespoon * 1/4
Cinnamon for each small cake = (1/12) tablespoon
Therefore, Jerri should use 1/12 tablespoon of cinnamon for each of the four small cakes.
Jerri was using a recipe for a large cake that required one-third of a tablespoon of cinnamon. Instead of making one large cake, Jerri decided to use the recipe to make four small cakes. How much cinnamon should she use for each of the four small cakes?
