3/4 of a cup is the same as 12/16 of a cup. if one tablespoon is 1/16 of a cup, then 12 tablespoons of butter are required
Answer:
Banana recipe will require 12 table spoons of butter.
Step-by-step explanation:
Banana bread recipe requires the butter = \(\frac{3}{4}\) cups
Since \(\frac{1}{6}\) cup = 1 table spoon
Therefore, 1 cup = \(\frac{1}{\frac{1}{16}}\) = 16 table spoons
Therefore, \(\frac{3}{4}\) cup of butter = \(\frac{3}{4}\times 16\)
= 12 table spoons of butter
So Banana recipe will require 12 table spoons of butter.
