Answer 2

Yes, fractions are used in cooking.

Proportions are ratios. Ratios are fractions. The proportions may be estimated or measured in weight or volume.

Without measuring tools one estimates proportions. An example, use (1:1 or 1/1) equal amounts of water and instant rice when cooking. Use (2:1 or 2/1), twice as much water as rice when cooking rise that is not instant.

With measuring tools one measures the listed measure on recipes.

Answer 3

the amounts of ingredients are often fractions, such as 1/2 cup of milk, of 1/4 tsp of baking soda.

Answer 4

Sometimes, you don't need one full cup/teaspoon/etc. because the recipe calls for a part of a cup/ teaspoon/ etc..

Answer 5

1/2 a teaspoon.

Answer 6
