Answer:
The amount of sugar actually used by Ashley to bake 6 cookies is 0.15 oz
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount of sugar needed to make 6 cookies = (9/20) oz
So, the total amount of sugar to be used = (9/20) oz
Let us assume the sugar actually used by Ashley = M oz
Also, given:
Sugar Used = One third of SUGAR NEEDED
[tex]\implies M = (\frac{1}{3}) \times (\frac{9}{20})[/tex]
= [tex](\frac{3}{20} )[/tex] = 0.15 oz
or M = 0.15 oz
Hence, the amount of sugar actually used by Ashley to bake 6 cookies is 0.15 oz.
