Mrs. Hancock's famous peanut butter cookies call for 1 cup of peanut butter for every 1/2 of a cup of oil. Today, she wants to make a huge batch with 1 cup of oil. How much peanut butter should she use?
Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, mixed number, or whole number.

Answer

Answer: To find out how much peanut butter is needed for 1 cup of oil, we need to determine how many times 1/2 cup of oil fits into 1 cup of oil. Since 1 divided by 1/2 equals 2, Mrs. Hancock should use 2 cups of peanut butter.
