Question
Yesterday, Bella's Snack Shack went through 1/2 of a bottle of ketchup. If they used 1/2 as much mustard as ketchup, how many bottles of mustard did they go through?Write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number.
Solution
Bella's Snack Shack used 1/2 as much mustard as ketchup. Since they used 1/2 bottle of ketchup, to find out how much mustard they used, you simply take 1/2 (the amount of ketchup used) and multiply it by 1/2 (since they used half as much mustard as ketchup).
So, 1/2 (ketchup) * 1/2 (half as much mustard as ketchup) = 1/4.
Therefore, Bella's Snack Shack went through 1/4 of a bottle of mustard.
