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?(1 point)
To find out how much sugar Ms. Johnson used, we need to multiply the amount of sugar in the canister by the fraction she used.
The amount of sugar in the canister is 7/8 cups.
Ms. Johnson used 1/2 of the sugar.
Therefore, she used (7/8) * (1/2) = 7/16 cups of the sugar. Answer: \boxed{\frac{7}{16}}
One-third of the campers at Rosewood Performing Arts Camp play an instrument. Two-fifths of those campers play the guitar. What fraction of the campers at Rosewood Performing Arts Camp play the guitar?(1 point)
To find the fraction of campers who play the guitar, we need to multiply the fraction of campers who play an instrument by the fraction of those who play the guitar.
One-third of the campers play an instrument.
Two-fifths of those who play an instrument play the guitar.
Therefore, the fraction of campers who play the guitar is (1/3) * (2/5) = 2/15. Answer: \boxed{\frac{2}{15}}
To find out how much sugar Ms. Johnson used, we need to calculate 1/2 of 7/8 cups.
Step 1: Multiply the numerator of the fraction by the numerator of the other fraction.
1 * 7 = 7
Step 2: Multiply the denominator of the fraction by the denominator of the other fraction.
2 * 8 = 16
So, 1/2 of 7/8 cups is equal to 7/16 cups of sugar.
