A dessert recipe requires 3/4 cups of flour, divided. If 1/4 cup of flour is needed for the crumble on top of the dessert, how much flour is used in the body of the dessert? Express your answer in simplest terms.
To find the amount of flour used in the body of the dessert, we need to subtract the amount used for the crumble from the total amount used. The total amount used is 3/4 cups, and the amount used for the crumble is 1/4 cup. Thus, the amount of flour used in the body of the dessert is 3/4 - 1/4 = <<3/4-1/4=1/2>>1/2 cup. Answer: \boxed{\frac{1}{2}}.
To find out how much flour is used in the body of the dessert, we can subtract the amount used for the crumble from the total amount needed.
The total amount of flour needed is 3/4 cups.
The amount used for the crumble is 1/4 cup.
To find the amount used in the body of the dessert, we subtract 1/4 from 3/4:
3/4 - 1/4 = 2/4
Simplifying 2/4, we get:
2/4 = 1/2
Therefore, the amount of flour used in the body of the dessert is 1/2 cup.
To find out how much flour is used in the body of the dessert, we need to subtract the amount used for the crumble from the total amount.
The recipe requires 3/4 cups of flour in total, divided into two parts (body and crumble). The crumble portion requires 1/4 cup of flour.
To find the amount used in the body of the dessert, we subtract the amount used for the crumble from the total amount of flour:
3/4 cups - 1/4 cup = 2/4 cups
Now we simplify the fraction 2/4 to its simplest terms. Both the numerator (2) and the denominator (4) can be divided by 2:
2 divided by 2 = 1
4 divided by 2 = 2
So, the amount of flour used in the body of the dessert is 1/2 cup.
