Answer 1

Answer:

y = 3/8x

or

3/8 cups of sugar for every 1/2 batch of muffins

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are only making 1/2 of the full batch of muffins, we only need to use 1/2 the cups of sugar:

$\frac{3}{4} (\frac{1}{2} )= \frac{3}{8}$ cups of sugar.

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{x}{2} = \frac{3y}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the batch be x and the amount of sugar be y

Condition:

x = $\frac{3}{4} y$

Multiplying both sides by 1/2

$\frac{1}{2} x = \frac{3}{4}y * \frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{x}{2} = \frac{3y*1}{4*2}$

$\frac{x}{2} = \frac{3y}{8}$

So, For 1/2 batch of muffins, Farid need 3/8 cups of sugar.
