Cara's muffin recipe calls for 1 1/2 cups of flour for the muffins and 1/4 cup of flour for the topping. If she makes 1/2 of the original recipe, how much flour will she use? I tried this 3/2 X 1/4 +1/2 but I think it's wrong.

this did not help me .But not to be mean or rude

stop typing because im doing work also like this comment please

I like cheese dont know about yopu also I think it start with a 2 idk just trying to have fun

To figure out how much flour Cara will use when making half of the original recipe, you need to determine the amounts for both the muffins and the topping separately.

The original recipe calls for 1 1/2 cups of flour for the muffins and 1/4 cup of flour for the topping. To find out how much flour she will use for the muffins, you can multiply 1 1/2 by 1/2 (since she is making half of the original recipe).

1 1/2 * 1/2 = 3/2 * 1/2 = 3/4

So, Cara will use 3/4 cup of flour for the muffins when making half of the original recipe.

For the topping, the recipe calls for 1/4 cup of flour. If she is making half of the original recipe, she will also use half of the amount for the topping:

1/4 * 1/2 = 1/4 * 1/2 = 1/8

Therefore, Cara will use 1/8 cup of flour for the topping when making half of the original recipe.

To find the total amount of flour she will use, you need to add the amounts for the muffins and the topping:

3/4 + 1/8 = 6/8 + 1/8 = 7/8

Hence, Cara will use 7/8 cup of flour when making half of the original muffin recipe.

What does is this -> *

* means multiply.

1 1/8

(1 2/4 + 1/4) * 1/2 = ?
