there are 7/8 cups of sugar in a canister in the kitchen. Ms Johnson used 1/2 of the sugar when she was prepared dessert for her daughter's birthday cake how much sugar did she use?
To find out how much sugar Ms Johnson used, we need to multiply the fraction representing the sugar she used (1/2) by the total amount of sugar in the canister (7/8).
To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators (top numbers) together and the denominators (bottom numbers) together.
So, (1/2) * (7/8) = (1*7) / (2*8) = 7/16.
Therefore, Ms Johnson used 7/16 cups of sugar when preparing the dessert for her daughter's birthday cake.
alright, I got another one.
how much did Mr Romanov pay for 9.3 gallons of gas at $3.30 a gallon
To find out how much Mr. Romanov paid, we need to multiply the number of gallons (9.3) by the price per gallon ($3.30).
So, 9.3 * $3.30 = $30.69.
Therefore, Mr. Romanov paid $30.69 for 9.3 gallons of gas.
To find out how much sugar Ms. Johnson used, we need to multiply the total amount of sugar in the canister by the fraction representing the amount she used.
The total amount of sugar in the canister is 7/8 cups.
Ms. Johnson used 1/2 of the sugar.
To calculate the amount of sugar she used, we multiply 7/8 cups by 1/2:
(7/8) x (1/2) = 7/16 cups
Therefore, Ms. Johnson used 7/16 cups of sugar.
