5/12 instead of the full amount

Branden Ponce · Answer 2

5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the unknown number of sugar requires by 1/2 recipe be x

1 recipe requires 5/6 cup of sugar

1/2 recipe requires x cup of sugar

Cross multiply

x=1/2*5/6

x=5/12

So the amount of sugar requires to make 1/2 recipe is 5/12
