A batch of cookies calls for 3/4 cup of flour. You want to make 1/2 of a batch. How much flour do you need?

To solve this we are going to use a proportion. We know that to make 1 batch of cookies we need 3/4 cup of flour, so to make 1/2 batch of cookies we'll need x cups of flour. In other words:

[tex]\frac{1batch----->\frac{3}{4}cup.flour}{\frac{1}{2}batch----->xcup.flour}[/tex]

Now, we can express our proportion as a fraction and solve for [tex]x[/tex]:

[tex]\frac{1}{\frac{1}{2} } =\frac{\frac{3}{4} }{x}[/tex]

[tex]x=(\frac{3}{4} )(\frac{1}{2} )[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{3}{8}[/tex]

You will need 3/8 of cup flour to make 1/2 of a bath of cookies.
