Question

You are baking and the recipe calls for 4 cups of flour. If you only have 3 1/2 cups, what % do you have?

Answer 1

87.5%

Explanation:

The recipe calls for 4 cups, and you have 3-1/2 cups, which is the same as 3.5 cups. You divide what you have (3.5) by what the recipe asks for (4).

3.5 ÷ 4 = 0.875 or 87.5%
