There are 7/8 cups of sugar in a canister in the kitchen. Ms. Johnson used 1/2 of the sugar when she was preparing dessert for her daughters birthday cake. How much sugar did she use
To find out how much sugar Ms. Johnson used, we need to multiply the amount of sugar in the canister by the fraction that represents the amount she used.
The amount of sugar in the canister is 7/8 cups.
The fraction that represents the amount Ms. Johnson used is 1/2.
To calculate the amount of sugar used, we multiply 7/8 * 1/2:
(7/8) * (1/2) = (7 * 1) / (8 * 2) = 7/16
Therefore, Ms. Johnson used 7/16 cups of sugar.
To find out how much sugar Ms. Johnson used, we need to find (1/2) of (7/8) cups of sugar.
First, let's multiply the fractions:
(1/2) * (7/8) = (1 * 7) / (2 * 8) = 7/16
Therefore, Ms. Johnson used 7/16 cups of sugar when preparing the dessert.
To find out how much sugar Ms. Johnson used, we need to multiply 1/2 by the total amount of sugar in the canister.
First, let's represent the total amount of sugar in the canister, which is 7/8 cups, as a fraction.
Now, we can multiply the fraction 1/2 by 7/8:
(1/2) * (7/8) = (1 * 7) / (2 * 8) = 7/16 cups
Therefore, Ms. Johnson used 7/16 cups of sugar when preparing the dessert for her daughter's birthday cake.
