Question
One fruit salad recipe requires `1/2` cup of sugar. Another recipe for the same fruit salad requires 2 tablespoons of sugar. If 1 tablespoon is equivalent to `1/16` cup, how much more sugar does the first recipe require?
Solution
Given, sugar required for one fruit salad = `1/2` cup
Sugar required for another salad = `2 xx 1/16 = 2/16` cup
∴ Required sugar = `1/2 - 2/16`
= `(8 - 2)/16`
= `6/16`
= `3/8` cup
