A recipe calls for 4.5 cups of flour and makes 36 cookies. How much flour is in each cookie?
4.5/36 = _______ cup
To find out how much flour is in each cookie, we need to divide the total amount of flour by the number of cookies.
The recipe calls for 4.5 cups of flour and makes 36 cookies. So, to find out how much flour is in each cookie, divide 4.5 cups by 36 cookies.
4.5 cups ÷ 36 cookies = 0.125 cups of flour per cookie.
Therefore, there is 0.125 cups (or 1/8 of a cup) of flour in each cookie.
