Answer :
Sure, let's solve the problem step by step.
1. We know that there are 16 tablespoons in 1 cup.
2. The recipe calls for [tex]\(\frac{1}{2}\)[/tex] cup of sugar.
3. To find out how many tablespoons are in [tex]\(\frac{1}{2}\)[/tex] cup, we need to calculate half of the number of tablespoons in one cup.
4. Since there are 16 tablespoons in a whole cup, [tex]\(\frac{1}{2}\)[/tex] cup will have half of that amount.
5. To calculate this, multiply 16 by [tex]\(\frac{1}{2}\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[
\frac{1}{2} \times 16 = 8
\][/tex]
Therefore, there are 8 tablespoons in [tex]\(\frac{1}{2}\)[/tex] cup.
