Answer 2

Answer:

Required amount of sugar first recipe require is $\frac{3}{8}$ cup.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : One custard requires 1/2 cup of sugar. Another recipe for the Same custard requires 2 tablespoons of sugar. if 1 tablespoon is equivalent to 1/16 cup.

To find : How much more sugar does the first recipe require?

Solution :

The first recipe requires $\frac{1}{2}$ cup of sugar.

The 2nd recipe requires 2 tablespoon of sugar

According to question,

1 tablespoon = $\frac{1}{16}$  cup 

So, 2 tablespoons = $2\times\frac{1}{16}=\frac{1}{8}$ cup 

More amount of sugar the 1st cup requires is

$=\farc{1}{2}-\frac{1}{8}=\frac{3}{8}$ cup

Therefore, Required amount of sugar first recipe require is $\frac{3}{8}$ cup.
