there are 7/8 cups of sugar in the 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 calculate 1/2 of 7/8.
We can do this by multiplying the fractions:
(1/2) * (7/8) = (1 * 7) / (2 * 8) = 7/16
Therefore, Ms. Johnson used 7/16 cups of sugar for the dessert.
To find out how much sugar Ms. Johnson used, you can multiply the amount of sugar in the canister by the fraction representing the amount she used.
The amount of sugar in the canister is 7/8 cups.
Ms. Johnson used 1/2 of the sugar from the canister.
To calculate the amount she used, multiply 7/8 cups by 1/2:
(7/8) * (1/2) = (7 * 1) / (8 * 2) = 7/16
Therefore, Ms. Johnson used 7/16 cups of sugar when preparing the dessert for her daughter's birthday cake.
To find out how much sugar Ms. Johnson used, we need to multiply the fraction of sugar she used by the total amount of sugar in the canister.
First, let's convert 7/8 cups of sugar to a decimal. To do this, divide the numerator (7) by the denominator (8):
7 ÷ 8 = 0.875
So, there are 0.875 cups of sugar in the canister.
Next, we need to calculate how much sugar Ms. Johnson used. She used 1/2 of the sugar, so we multiply the total amount of sugar by 1/2:
0.875 cups × 1/2 = 0.4375 cups
Therefore, Ms. Johnson used 0.4375 cups of sugar when preparing dessert for her daughter's birthday cake.
