Question

Jeff is baking a cake. The recipe says that he has to mix 32 grams of vanilla powder to the flour. Jeff knows that 1 cup of that particular vanilla powder has a mass of 128 grams. He added 2/3 of a cup of vanilla powder to the flour. Should Jeff add more vanilla powder to make the exact recipe, or did he go over and by what amount?

Answer 1

To determine the excess amount, subtract 32 from 85.33 which has a numerical value of 53.33 grams.
