A cookie recipe calls for ¾ cup of sugar. You have the
following measuring cups: 1 cup, ½ cup, ⅓ cup, ¼ cup, ⅛ cup, and a tablespoon (which is 1/16 cup).
Suppose your ¼ cup is missing. How would you measure ¾ cups of sugar using at least two of the other measuring cups? Show your work.
Question
You need 3/4 cup of sugar and your 1/4 is missing
First use the 1/2 cup which is equal to 2/4
Now a tablespoon is 1/16 of a cup, so use 4 table spoons, which is 1/4 of a cup
You finally have 3/4 cups of sugar because you have 1/2 cups of sugar and 4/6 cup of sugar
