Insert a picture of all your work, make sure that each problem is clearly labeled. You may insert a picture of all your work on the next page. Malik is using a cookbook to make a recipe, but he can not find his measuring cups! He has, however, found a tablespoon. Inside the back cover of the cookbook, it says that 1 cup cup = 16 tablespoons. Explain how he could use the tablespoon to measure out the following ingredients: Example: 1 cup of milk . Since Malik needs 1 cup of milk he can multiply 1 x 16= 16. So he will need 16 tablespoons of milk.2 cups of flour1/4cup of peanut butter1/2 cup brown sugar 1\4 cup of oatmeal Malik also adds the following ingredients. How many cups of each did he add? i. 28 tablespoons of sugar I ii. 6 tablespoons of cocoa powder

Answer 1

Data:

1 cup =16 tablespoons

To use the tablespoons to measure the ingredients you turn the given measure in cups to tablespoons whit the next formula:

$tbs=\text{xcup}\cdot\frac{16\text{tbs}}{1\text{cup}}$

x is the number of cups in the recipe.

1 Cup of milk: 16tablespoons of milk$\text{milk}=1\text{cup}\cdot\frac{16\text{tbs}}{1cup}=16tbs$2 cups of flour: multiply 2 x 16: 32 tablespoons of flour$\text{flour}=2\text{cup}\cdot\frac{16tbs}{1\text{cup}}=32\text{tbs}$1/4 cup of peanut butter: multiply 1/4 x 16 (divide 16 into 4): 4 tablespoons of peanut butter$pb=\frac{1}{4}\text{cup}\cdot\frac{16tbs}{1cup}=4tbs$1/2 cup brown sugar: multiply 1/2 x16 (divide 16 into 2): 8 tablespoons of brown sugar.$bs=\frac{1}{2}\text{cup}\cdot\frac{16\text{tbs}}{1\text{cup}}=8\text{tbs}$1/4 cup of oatmeal: multiply 1/4 x 16 (divide 16 into 4): 4 tablespoons of oatmeal$o=\frac{1}{4}\text{cups}\cdot\frac{16\text{tbs}}{1\text{cup}}=4\text{tbs}$

--------------------------------

To turn tablespoons into cups you use the next formula:

$\text{cups}=\text{xtbs}\cdot\frac{1\text{cup}}{16\text{tbs}}$28 tablespoons of sugar: Multiply 28 x 1/16 (divide 28 into 16): 7/4 cups of sugar$s=28\text{tbs}\cdot\frac{1\text{cup}}{16\text{tbs}}=\frac{28}{16}=\frac{7}{4}$6 tablespoons of cocoa powder: multiply 6 x 1/16 (divide 6 into 16): 3/8 cups of cocoa powder$cp=6\text{tbs}\cdot\frac{1\text{cup}}{16\text{tbs}}=\frac{6}{16}=\frac{3}{8}$
