One-quarter of a bread recipe calls for 2/3 cup of bread flour. How many cups are needed per recipe?
2/3 cup / (1/4 recipe)
multiply top and bottom by 4
= (8/3) cup/recipe
or 2 2/3
13 cup of butter. You want to make 12 of a batch.
13 cup of butter. You want to make 12 of a batch.
To find out how many cups of bread flour are needed per recipe, you need to calculate one-fourth of the amount specified in the recipe.
The recipe calls for 2/3 cup of bread flour, and one-fourth of that amount can be calculated as follows:
(2/3) ÷ 4
To divide a fraction by a whole number, you can multiply the fraction by the reciprocal of the whole number. So in this case, we can rewrite the division as multiplication:
(2/3) × (1/4)
To multiply fractions, you simply multiply the numerators together to get the new numerator and multiply the denominators together to get the new denominator:
(2 × 1) / (3 × 4)
Simplifying the numerator and the denominator gives us the final answer:
2/12
Since 2/12 is equivalent to 1/6, the recipe requires 1/6 cup of bread flour.
