Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

ANSWER:-

Given that:-

• You need to give 4 cups of flour
• You have 1/2 cup of measurement mug or spoon whatsoever.

To find:-

How many doses of spoon you need of that 1/2 spoon to make it 4.

Let's See

Here, there's a small trick as well as a larger one.

First, I will show the larger one and then the smaller.

$\sf{\dfrac{1}{2}+ \dfrac{1}{2} = 1 }$

$\sf{\dfrac{1}{2}+ \dfrac{1}{2} = 1 }$

$\sf{\dfrac{1}{2}+ \dfrac{1}{2} = 1 }$

$\sf{\dfrac{1}{2}+ \dfrac{1}{2} = 1 }$

1+1+1+1=4

So, we need 8 cups of the 1/2 spoon measurement.

Shortcut methodology:-

Let us consider the number of cups required as x.

$\sf{\dfrac{1}{2} \times x = 4 }$

$\sf{ x = 4 \times 2 = 8 \ Cups.}$
