my 5 th grader needs a recipe with fractions 1/2, 1/3, 1/4?

Question

cups, teaspoon, or tablespoons. she is in specialize tutoring because she cant read and it a test of her other abilities

Answer 1

There aren't a whole lot of recipes that will contain all those particular fractions. I included a couple that have all three (you may have to read the whole recipe to find them all). A couple of things to keep in mind (so you can kind of re-order a recipe):

- 1 teaspoon is 1/3 of a tablespoon.
- 16 tablespoons equals 1 cup.
- Recipes with 3 eggs will be easier to get 1/3s out of if you divide it.
- Changing cups to tablespoons may make things easier to divide (common denominators, etc).
- If liquid is involved, you can change to ounces easily - 2 tablespoons equals 1 ounce (16 ounces to a pound - 2 cups).
- If all else fails, pick an easier recipe and make things uneven fractions - for example, 1 cup is always equal to 3 1/3 cups, or 3/3.

Answer 2

how about 1/2 cup of strawberries add 1/3 cup of whipped cream or raisins or grapes and 1/4 cup of granola. mix it up and add it to a bowl of yogurt. mmm good.

or

1/2 cup of sliced apple 1/3 cup of banana 1/4 cup of raisins for snack. mix them up and serve.

Answer 3

Make a trial mix.

Use different amounts of everything until you have the mix and recipe you need.

Plus, if she shares it it will be stuff all the kids like!

Answer 4

Look through a cookbook and you should have no trouble finding a recipe that have the fractions in it.

Answer 5

why are you doing her homework for her? just have her flip through a recipe book till she finds the numbers she is looking for, doesn't necessarily require reading.
