Question

a recipe calls for the following amounts 3 1/4 cups sugar 3/4 cup water 1 1/2 cups flour i only want to make half of the recipe how much of each ingredient will I need?

Answer 1

`sugar \: \: 3 (1)/(4) \ * (1)/(2) = (13)/(4) * (1)/(2) \\ = (13)/(8) =1 (5)/(8 \: cups)`

`floor \: \\ (1)/(2) of 1 (1)/(2) = (1)/(2) * (3)/(2) = (3)/(4)`


`sugar \: (1)/(2) of \: (3)/(4) = (1)/(2) * (3)/(4) \\ = (3)/(8) cup`
