I need to divide 5/8 cup of buter into 12 servings
(5/8)(1/12) = 5/96
there are 48 teaspoons per cup
(5/96) cups * 48 teaspoons/cup) = 5/2 teaspoons
or 2 1/2 teaspoons per serving
To divide 5/8 cup of butter into 12 servings, you need to determine how much butter each serving will be.
First, you need to find the fraction of butter for each serving. To do this, divide the total amount of butter (5/8 cup) by the number of servings (12):
(5/8) ÷ 12
To divide fractions, you multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction:
(5/8) × (1/12)
To multiply fractions, you simply multiply the numerators and denominators:
(5 × 1) / (8 × 12)
Simplifying the numerator and denominator:
5 / 96
So, each serving will have 5/96 cup of butter.
