To find out how much raspberry puree you need for a third of the original recipe, you can multiply the amount of raspberry puree by \( \frac{1}{3} \). Originally, you have \( \frac{3}{8} \) cup of raspberry puree. So, the calculation will be: \[ \frac{3}{8} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3 \times 1}{8 \times 3} = \frac{3}{24} \] Now, you can simplify \( \frac{3}{24} \) to \( \frac{1}{8} \) cup. For a bit of fun, think of it this way: Imagine you're making a super fruity punch for a summer party, and you just need that perfect raspberry kick. Cutting down the puree to just \( \frac{1}{8} \) cup means you can save those extra berries for garnish! For a more practical approach, ensure you measure fractions correctly by converting them to decimals if it helps! Always remember that when you're dealing with fractions, it can be tricky. Keeping a common denominator can save you from making mistakes that turn a delightful drink into a syrupy mess. So whip out that measuring cup and enjoy your fruity creation!
