Vocaloid:

if 1 cup = 128g then (1/2) cup = how many grams?

katherine:

oh, God, i'm not good with cups and grams

Vocaloid:

imagine a cup of 128 marbles if one entire cup has 128 marbles then how many marbles are in half a cup?

katherine:

oh wait, is it \(118.294\) grams?

katherine:

64?

Vocaloid:

good, 64g

Vocaloid:

now, we calculate the fraction g added/g needed = 64/96 reduce this to lowest terms

katherine:

64/96 to lowest terms?

katherine:

is it \[\frac{ 2 }{ 3}\]

Vocaloid:

good, she has only added 2/3 so we need to figure out how much we still need to add

katherine:

Right.

Vocaloid:

g needed - g added = 96 - 64 = 32g let's calculate how much this is as a fraction of the whole cup 32/128 reduced to lowest terms is...?

katherine:

\[\frac{ 1 }{ 4}\]

katherine:

So, she needs to add 1/4 cups?

Vocaloid:

good, well done

katherine:

Awesome, thank you!!
