a recipe calls for 5/7 cup of granola. how much is needed to make half the recipe.(1/2)(5/7)= 5/14 Is this correct?
Yes, correct.
Yes, that is correct! To find out how much granola is needed to make half the recipe, you can multiply the amount of granola called for in the original recipe (5/7 cup) by the fraction representing half the recipe (1/2).
Multiplying fractions is simple. You multiply the numerators (top numbers) and the denominators (bottom numbers). So, (1/2)(5/7) is equal to (1*5)/(2*7), which simplifies to 5/14.
Therefore, you would need 5/14 cup of granola to make half the recipe.
