Stupid quiz for you all to enjoy!

[Kiwisurfing]

I had a standard numeracy and literacy test for my job today that I was meant to do when I started 6 months ago but only got around to doing now

Anyway heres the one that stumped me:

Lucy is making muffins, the recipe for 6 muffins asks for 1/2 cup of sugar.
What fraction of a cup of sugar does Lucy need to make 10 muffins

I am usless at fractions and this confused the heck out of me for ages and in the end I got it wrong so who cares, I just want to know if you lot are better at maths than me? (thats not hard as im useless )

Who knows the answer and can show how to work it out?

Divide 1/2 by 6 and multiply by 10.

First is 6/12 and the 2nd is 10/12 so 4 fifths of a cup....

[BUSHWHACKER]

Chocolate or blueberry muffins?

[Sancho]

First is 6/12 and the 2nd is 10/12 so 4 fifths of a cup....

If 6 muffins is half a cup, each muffin is 1/12 of a cup.

So ten muffins is 10/12 of a cup.

Which is 5/6ths.

Same as Sancho.

That's what I get for doing maths while walking.... you got the idea...
