To find out how much sugar is used for each cupcake, you can divide the total amount of sugar used (2/12) by the number of cupcakes made (9). Here's how you can calculate it step by step:
Step 1: Convert the fraction to a decimal: 2/12 = 0.1667.
Step 2: Divide the decimal amount of sugar used by the number of cupcakes: 0.1667 ÷ 9 = 0.0185 (rounded to four decimal places).
Therefore, each cupcake would have approximately 0.0185 units of sugar used.
