Answer:
1 5/16 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
A recipe calls for 2 5/8 cups of flour. If you are only making a half-batch, how much flour would you need?
A recipe = 1 batch
Hence,
1 batch = 2 5/8 cups of flour
1/2 batch = x cups of flour
Cross Multiply
x cups × 1 batch = 1/2 batch × 2 5/8 cups of flour
x cups = 1/2 batch × 2 5/8 cups /1 batch
x cups = 1/2 × 21/8
x cups = 21/16
x cups = 1 5/16 cups
Half batch requires 1 5/16 cups of flour
