Answer:
We conclude that for 1/2 batch, Faird would require 3/8 cups of sugar.
Step-by-step explanation:
- Suger needed for a full batch = 3/4
- Given that Farid is making 1/2 of batch
We need to determine the expression for the amount of sugar Freed needs to make 1/2 batch.
Let 'x' be the batch and 'y' be the amount of sugar
Suger needed for a full batch = 3/4 cup of a sugar
so
But, Farid is making 1/2 of the batch.
Thus, multiply both sides by 1/2
[tex]x\times \frac{1}{2}\:=\:\frac{3}{4}y\times \frac{1}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{x}{2}=\frac{3y}{8}[/tex]
Therefore, we conclude that for 1/2 batch, Faird would require 3/8 cups of sugar.
