Rayne Martinez · Answer 1

1 & 1/6

You only need half the amount of sugar so you multiply by 1/2. so 2 cups and 1/3.

2/1 X 1/2 = 2/2=1 cup

1/3X1/2=1/6

1+1/6 = 1 & 1/6

Btw, my name is Morgan = )

Allison · Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

2c-1/3=4 1/6

(1/3 x 2 = 2/6)

2c = 3 5/6

(6 x 3 + 5)

2c=23

c=11.5 or 11 1/2
