You can put this solution on YOUR website! This question can be solved by creating an equation. You know that for every full recipe you need 3/5 cups of granola; let me create an equation for this: let x equal the amount of granola needed in a full recipe
3/5 = x
3/5 is also equivalent to 6/10
∴ 6/10 = x
Now if you only want half of the recipe, you also have to half your equation
∴ 3/10 = x/2
∴ For half a recipe you need 3/10 cups of granola.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If the whole recipe calls for 3/5 cups granola, then half a recipe would call for half of 3/5 cups, right?
(1/2)(3/5) = 3/10 cups granola
