To make banana bread, Colin uses 3/4 of a cup of brown sugar for every 2 cups of flour. How much brown sugar should Colin use to make a small batch with only 1 cup of flour?
Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, mixed number, or whole number.

Answer

To find out how much brown sugar Colin should use for 1 cup of flour, we need to divide the amount of brown sugar by the amount of flour:

  1. Colin uses 3/4 cup of brown sugar for 2 cups of flour.
  2. For 1 cup of flour, the amount of brown sugar is (3/4) / 2 = 3/8 cup.

Therefore, Colin should use 3/8 cups of brown sugar.
