Jacob is baking cookies. The recipe uses 3/4 cup of sugar. He wants to make one-half of a batch. How many cups of sugar does he need?

Question

Cant figure out how to solve this problem.  Thanks!

Answer 1

If the recipe for one batch needs 3/4 cup of sugar and he wants to make half a batch, he has to use half of 3/4 cup, which is 3/8 cup.
