Question

Hi there! I have a math problem I need help on: A recipe calls for 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. You only have a 1/2 teaspoon measuring spoon. What fraction of a teaspoon of cinnamon, in halves, do you need? Please include the answer in your reply, and please don't go off-topic.

Answer 1

You need 2 half-teaspoons, since

1/2 tsp + 1/2 tsp = (1 + 1)/2 tsp = 2/2 tsp = 1 tsp
