Makiya was making cupcakes. she added 1 3/4 cup of powdered sugar to the recipe. she gave the cupcakes to 5 friends. how much powdered sugar was in each friend's delivery?

Answer 1

To find out how much powdered sugar was in each friend's delivery, divide the total amount of powdered sugar Makiya added to the recipe, which is 1 3/4 cups, by the number of friends, which is 5.

1 3/4 ÷ 5 = 7/4 ÷ 5 = 7/4 * 1/5 = 7/20

Therefore, each friend received 7/20 cup of powdered sugar in their delivery.
