Jessica is baking a cake. The recipe says that she has to mix 96 grams of sugar into the flour. Jessica knows that 1 cup of this particular sugar has a mass of 128 grams. She added one over two of a cup of sugar to the flour. Should Jessica add more sugar to make the exact recipe, or did she go over and by what amount? (5 points)

Respuesta :

mathmate
1 cup = 128 grams
X cups = 96 grams

Cross multiply
128X = 1*96
X=96/128 cups = 6/8 = 3/4 cups.

If she has already added 1/2 cups, then she needs to add (3/4-1/2)=1/4 cup more sugar.

Also please remind her to do the calculations before adding ingredients to avoid ruining a recipe.
