according to a recipe, 9/20 oz, of sugar is needed to make 6 cookies. Ashley decided to use only a third of the sugar to make it healthier. how much sugar did Ashley use?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The amount of sugar actually used by Ashley to bake 6 cookies is 0.15 oz

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of sugar needed to make 6 cookies = (9/20)  oz

So, the total amount of sugar to be used = (9/20) oz

Let us assume the sugar actually used by Ashley = M oz

Also, given:

Sugar Used  = One third of SUGAR NEEDED

[tex]\implies M = (\frac{1}{3}) \times (\frac{9}{20})[/tex]

            = [tex](\frac{3}{20} )[/tex] = 0.15 oz

or M = 0.15 oz

Hence, the amount of sugar actually used by Ashley to bake 6 cookies is 0.15 oz.
