Samantha uses \(\frac{1}{2}\) of a tablespoon of sugar for \(\frac{1}{8}\) of a batch of pudding. How many tablespoons will she use for the entire batch of pudding?

A) 8 tablespoons
B) 6 tablespoons
C) 16 tablespoons
D) 4 tablespoons
E) 2 tablespoons

Answer :

Multiply 1/2 tbs by 8 because we are solving for the entire batch.

This gives you 4 tablespoons
1/2 times 8 equals 4.
You multiply by 8 because the denominator is 8 so you have to have that recipe 8 times to get a whole.
