A recipe for the pancakes calls for 1/8 teaspoon of salt for every 3/4 cup of flour. What is the amount of salt you need for 1 cup of flour.

Answer :

Answer:

1/6 teaspoon of salt.

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\[\frac{3}{4}\][/tex]  cup of flour requires [tex]\[\frac{1}{8}\][/tex] teaspoon of salt.

We need to find the amount of salt needed for 1 cup of floor.

The fraction [tex]\[\frac{3}{4}\][/tex] needs to be multiplied by [tex]\[\frac{4}{3}\][/tex] to convert it to 1.

So to find the amount of salt required for 1 cup of flour, we need to multiply both the quantities by [tex]\[\frac{4}{3}\][/tex]

[tex]\[\frac{1}{8} * \frac{4}{3}\][/tex]

=  [tex]\[\frac{1}{6}\][/tex]

So we need [tex]\[\frac{1}{6}\][/tex] teaspoon of salt.
