A recipe calls for one-third cup of flour you have a quarter cup and a half measuring cup How could you measure one-third cup of flour?
Jaedyn wants to know how many 1\4 cup scoops of flour can be taken from a bag that contains 10 cups of flour
To measure one-third cup of flour, you can follow the following steps using a quarter cup and a half cup measuring cup:
1. Start by using the half cup measuring cup. Pour flour up to the half cup mark.
2. Take the quarter cup measuring cup and fill it with flour.
3. Add the flour from the quarter cup into the half cup that is already partially filled with flour.
4. Now, you should have three-quarters (3/4) of a cup of flour in the half cup measuring cup.
5. Use a spatula or any flat utensil to level off the excess flour on the top so that the flour is level with the top rim of the half cup.
6. Finally, carefully pour out the excess flour until there is only one-third cup of flour left in the measuring cup.
By using a quarter cup and a half cup measuring cup, you can measure one-third cup of flour by filling the half cup, adding the quarter cup, leveling off the excess flour, and then pouring out the excess until you have one-third cup remaining.
The way I do it is to measure even the 1/4 cup, empty it, and then fill it half way.
1/4+ 1/8=3/8= .375cup
1/3 cup = .333 cup which is about 10 percent off.
