Ms. Johnson used 12 cups of sugar when she was preparing dessert for her daughter's birthday cake.
There are 7/8
cups of sugar in a canister in the kitchen. Ms. Johnson used 1/2
of the sugar when she was preparing dessert for her daughter's birthday cake. How much sugar did she use?
To find out how much sugar Ms. Johnson used, we need to multiply the amount of sugar in the canister (7/8) by the fraction she used (1/2).
(7/8) * (1/2) = (7 * 1) / (8 * 2) = 7/16
Therefore, Ms. Johnson used 7/16 cups of sugar when preparing dessert for her daughter's birthday cake.
