Question

A recipe that makes 6 servings calls for 1/2 cup of butter. Nancy modifies the recipe so that it can serve 8.

How many cups of butter does Nancy need?

A. 3/8

B. 2/3

C. 1 1/3

D. 3

Answer 1

8 is 4/3 of six, so you would multiply 1/2 by 4/3.
This would equal 4/6.
That fraction simplified is 2/3.
