Sugar in a Batch of Cookies

A recipe requires &f\frac{3}{4} cup of sugar for one batch of cookies. If you want to make &f\frac{2}{3} of a batch, how much sugar will you need?

To solve this problem, multiply the amount of sugar needed for one batch by the fraction of the batch you intend to make. This can be represented as:

$$ ext{Amount of sugar needed} =\frac{3}{4} imes\frac{2}{3}$$
