a cookie recipe calls for 2/3 cup of brown sugar. sarah is making 1/4 of the recipe. how much brown sugar will she need

She will need 1/6 of a cup of sugar to make 1/4 of the recipe.

Step-by-step explanation:

Write and solve an equation of ratios. On the left side we have the ratio of the fraction of the recipe and on the right that of the amount of sugar in each case:

1 recipe      2/3 cup

=

1/4 recipe         x

Cross multiplying gives us:

1x = (1/4)(2/3), or

x =2/12 or 1/6

She will need 1/6 of a up of sugar to make 1/4 of the recipe.

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.

step-by-step explanation:

notice that the equation you are given has -2 (negative 2) on the right side, not 2. when you subtract 5 from a number n, you are finding the difference between the number and 5.

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.
