Answer:
She need [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] cups of corn.
Step-by-step explanation:
Libby needs to make [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] of her chilli recipe for the school's chilli contest. If Libby usually need [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] cup of corn for her recipe.
She make half of her recipe
So, we can set up equation for unknown corn she need for the chilli contest as 'x' cups
[tex]\frac{1}{0.5} =\frac{0.5}{x}[/tex]
Cross multiply
x=0.25
To make it as a fraction, she need [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] cups of corn.
