Daniel filled 1/4 cup scoop 2 times with nuts for a recipe which size measuring cup could daniel have filed one time to have the same amount for the recipe.

Answer :

Answer:

[tex]Size= \frac{1}{2}\ cup[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Size = \frac{1}{4}\ cup[/tex]

[tex]Scoop = 2[/tex]

Required

Determine the size of cup for 1 scoop

For two scoops, we have:

[tex]Recipe = \frac{1}{4}+ \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Take LCM

[tex]Recipe = \frac{1+1}{4}[/tex]

[tex]Recipe = \frac{2}{4}[/tex]

[tex]Recipe = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

This implies that, the amount of recipe is 1/2

If he uses a cup of size 1/2, he would only need 1 scoop.

Hence:

[tex]Size= \frac{1}{2}\ cup[/tex]
