A recipe call for the following ingredients:

3c flour
1/2t salt
3/4c sugar
4c fruit
2T butter
To make 2/3 of the recipe, how much of each ingredient should you use.

Question, should I multiply of divide by 2/3?

multiply

(2/3) 3 = 2 cups

(2/3) 1/2 = 1/3 t

(2/3) 3/4 = 1/2 cup

(2/3) 4 = 8/3 = 2 2/3 cup

(2/3) 2 = 4/3 = 1 1/3 T

To determine how much of each ingredient you should use to make 2/3 of the recipe, you need to multiply the given quantities of each ingredient by 2/3. Multiplying by 2/3 will reduce the amounts proportionally.

For example, let's calculate the amounts for each ingredient:

1. Flour: 3 cups x 2/3 = 2 cups of flour.
2. Salt: 1/2 teaspoon x 2/3 = 1/3 teaspoon of salt.
3. Sugar: 3/4 cup x 2/3 = 1/2 cup of sugar.
4. Fruit: 4 cups x 2/3 = 8/3 cups of fruit (or approximately 2.67 cups).
5. Butter: 2 tablespoons x 2/3 = 4/3 tablespoons of butter (or approximately 1 1/3 tablespoons).

So, to make 2/3 of the recipe, you should use approximately:
- 2 cups of flour
- 1/3 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 2.67 cups of fruit
- 1 1/3 tablespoons of butter.

Multiply 2/3.

3 * (2/3) = 6/3 = 2 cups
