Samantha uses 1/2 of a tablespoon of sugar for 1/8 of a batch of pudding. How many tablespoons will she use for the entire batch of pudding?


A) 8 Tablespoons

B) 6 Tablespoons

C) 16 tablespoons

D) 4 Tablespoons

E) 2 Tablespoons

Respuesta :

1/2 times 8 equals 4.
You multiply by 8 because the denominator is 8 so you have to have that recipe 8 times to get a whole.

Multiply 1/2 tbs by 8 because we are solving for the entire batch.

This gives you 4 tablespoons
