Answer 2

What do you think?

Answer 3

Well, I got 32 but I dont know how to make that into a fraction

Answer 4

\[128 \div 32 = ?\]

Answer 5

4, but why would I need to do that?

Answer 6

When I tried solving this, I found out what half of [1 cup (128)] is, which is 64. Then I subtracted that by 96 to see how many more grams she would need. But its not a fraction

(96-64=32)

Answer 7

There is probably an easier way to get this done...but I do not know it.

So my logic on this is...

If 1 cup is = to 128 grams, and she added 1/2 a cup she added 64 grams. She needs a total of 96 grams. The difference between 96 and 64 is 32. 32 goes into 128 four times which means it is a 4th of a cup (128 grams) which means she needs to add 1/4 cup.
