mrnood · Answer

you thing 1/12 of a batch?

is 1/2 MORE than 1/6?  Every time they make a batch they use 1/6 bag. keep adding 1/6 until you get to a total of 1/2

how many times do they use 1/6 to get to 1/2

try writing 1/2 = ??/6

welshfella · Answer

yes

1/2  = 3/6

1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 = 3/6

There are 3  1/6's  in 1/3
