To find out how much sugar Ms. Johnson used, we need to multiply the amount of sugar in the canister by the fraction that represents the amount she used.
The amount of sugar in the canister is 7/8 cups.
The fraction that represents the amount Ms. Johnson used is 1/2.
To calculate the amount of sugar used, we multiply 7/8 * 1/2:
(7/8) * (1/2) = (7 * 1) / (8 * 2) = 7/16
Therefore, Ms. Johnson used 7/16 cups of sugar.
There are 7/8 cups of sugar in a canister in the kitchen. Ms. Johnson used 1/2 of the sugar when she was preparing dessert for her daughters birthday cake. How much sugar did she use
