A recipe calls for three cans of condensed milk. Each can holds one-half cup of condensed milk. If Alice wants to cut the recipe in half how much condensed milk will she need? THANKS!!!!
3/2 = 1 1/2 cans
I am trying to find out if a recipe calls for 2/3 cups of granola, how much do I need to make 1/9 of the recipe
To determine how much condensed milk Alice will need if she wants to cut the recipe in half, we need to first calculate the amount of condensed milk required for the original recipe and then divide it by 2.
Given that the original recipe calls for three cans of condensed milk, and each can holds one-half cup of condensed milk, we can calculate the total amount of condensed milk required for the original recipe:
3 cans * 1/2 cup = 3/2 cups
So, the original recipe requires 3/2 cups (1.5 cups) of condensed milk.
Now, to determine the amount of condensed milk Alice will need if she cuts the recipe in half, we divide the original amount by 2:
1.5 cups / 2 = 0.75 cups
Therefore, Alice will need 0.75 cups (or 3/4 cup) of condensed milk if she wants to cut the recipe in half.
