Question 1183425
Wait, wouldn't it be  (1/3)*(1/4 cup) = 1/12 cup?   To make 12oz, you need 1/4 cup of soy sauce, so to make 1/3rd as much you'd need 1/3rd as much soy sauce.

---
Using a proportion:  12/4 = (1/4)/x  -->  x = (1/4)*4/12 = 1/12 cups (the question asks for the answer in cups, not tablespoons)
