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 out how much sugar Ms. Johnson used, we need to multiply the fraction of sugar used (1/2) by the total amount of sugar in the canister (7/8).

First, let's convert the fractions into decimals: 1/2 = 0.5 and 7/8 = 0.875.

Now we multiply 0.5 by 0.875: 0.5 * 0.875 = 0.4375.

So, Ms. Johnson used 0.4375 cups of sugar for the dessert.
