Given:
The recipe calls for [tex]\dfrac{3}{8}[/tex] cup of chili powder.
Karl only wants to use half as much so it won’t be so spicy.
To find:
How much chili powder should Karl use?
Solution:
We have,
Chill power for recipe = [tex]\dfrac{3}{8}[/tex] cup
Chill power used by Karl is half of chill power for recipe.
[tex]\text{Chill power used by Karl}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{3}{8}[/tex] cup[tex]\text{Chill power used by Karl}=\dfrac{3}{16}[/tex] cup
Therefore, [tex]\dfrac{3}{16}[/tex] cup of chili powder should Karl use.
