Problem

When making bread from scratch, the recipe calls for $\frac{4}{5}$ cup of water. If you need to make a smaller portion of the recipe, how much water would you need in order to make only $\frac{1}{12}$ th of the recipe? Give your answer as a fraction, reduced to lowest terms cups

Solution

Step 1 :Given that the full recipe requires \(\frac{4}{5}\) cups of water, we need to find out how much water is needed for \(\frac{1}{12}\) of the recipe.

Step 2 :To do this, we multiply the amount of water needed for the full recipe by the fraction of the recipe we want to make.

Step 3 :\(\frac{4}{5} \times \frac{1}{12} = \frac{1}{15}\)

Step 4 :Final Answer: The amount of water needed to make \(\frac{1}{12}\) th of the recipe is \(\boxed{\frac{1}{15}}\) cups.
