Jerry was using a recipe for a large cake that required 1/3 of a tablespoon of cinnamon. Instead of making one large cake, Jerry decided to use a recipe to make four small cakes. How much cinnamon should she use for each of the four small cakes

Answer 1

To find out how much cinnamon Jerry should use for each of the four small cakes, we need to divide the amount called for in the large cake recipe by the number of small cakes.

1/3 tablespoon of cinnamon / 4 small cakes = 1/12 tablespoon of cinnamon per small cake

Thus, Jerry should use 1/12 tablespoon of cinnamon for each of the four small cakes.
