Jerri was using a recipe for a large cake that required one-third of a tablespoon of cinnamon. Instead of making one large cake, Jerri decided to use the recipe to make four small cakes. How much cinnamon should she use for each of the four small cakes?
To find the amount of cinnamon needed for each small cake, Jerri should divide the total amount of cinnamon required for the large cake by the number of small cakes she wants to make.
Total amount of cinnamon for one large cake = 1/3 tablespoon
Number of small cakes = 4
Cinnamon for each small cake = (1/3 tablespoon) / (4 small cakes)
Cinnamon for each small cake = 1/3 tablespoon * 1/4
Cinnamon for each small cake = (1/12) tablespoon
Therefore, Jerri should use 1/12 tablespoon of cinnamon for each of the four small cakes.
To find out how much cinnamon Jerri should use for each of the four small cakes, we need to divide the amount of cinnamon required for the large cake by the number of small cakes.
1/3 tablespoon of cinnamon / 4 small cakes = 1/12 tablespoon of cinnamon per small cake.
Therefore, Jerri should use 1/12 tablespoon of cinnamon for each of the four small cakes.
To determine how much cinnamon should be used for each of the four small cakes, we need to find the amount of cinnamon required for one small cake.
Given that the recipe calls for one-third of a tablespoon of cinnamon for a large cake, we can divide this amount by four to find the quantity needed for each small cake.
To divide one-third by four, perform the following calculations:
1/3 ÷ 4 = 1/3 × 1/4 = 1/12
So, Jerri should use one-twelfth of a tablespoon of cinnamon for each of the four small cakes.
