Gwen needs to add 2/3 of a cup of flour to a recipe. She only has a 1/3-cup measure. How many scoops of flour does Gwen need to add?
2 = 1+1, right?
Maura needs to add 2 1/3 cups of flour to a recipe. She only has a 1/3-cup measure. How many scoops of flour does Maura need to add?
To determine how many scoops of flour Gwen needs to add, we can calculate the total amount of flour needed and then divide it by the amount of flour that each scoop holds.
In this case, Gwen needs to add 2/3 of a cup of flour. Since she only has a 1/3-cup measure, let's find out how many scoops she'll need.
To add 2/3 of a cup, we can take half of the 1/3-cup measure twice. Since the 1/3-cup measure is half the amount she needs each time, she will need to scoop twice.
Therefore, Gwen needs to add 2 scoops of flour using her 1/3-cup measure.
