There are 7/8

Question

cups of sugar in a canister in the kitchen. Ms. Johnson used 1/2

of the sugar when she was preparing dessert for her daughter's birthday cake. How much sugar did she use?

Answer 1

To find how much sugar Ms. Johnson used, we have to multiply the amount of sugar in the canister (7/8 cups) by the fraction of sugar she used (1/2).

(7/8) x (1/2) = (7/16) = 0.4375

So, Ms. Johnson used approximately 0.4375 cups of sugar.
