Practice fractions and kitchen measurement conversions by working through an apple pie recipe. You’ll scale ingredient amounts (double/halve/multiple pies) and convert between teaspoons, tablespoons, cups, pints, and quarts.
You’re making 1 apple pie. The filling needs 3/4 cup sugar. If 1 cup = 16 tablespoons, how many tablespoons of sugar is 3/4 cup?
The crust needs 1/2 cup butter. You decide to double the recipe.
How many cups of butter do you need?
The recipe calls for 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon. If you make half the recipe, how many teaspoons of cinnamon do you need?
The filling needs 2 cups of sliced apples for 1 pie. You’re making 3 pies.
How many quarts of sliced apples do you need? (Use 4 cups = 1 quart.)
True or False: If a recipe uses 1 pint of apple juice and you double the recipe, you will need 1 quart of apple juice. (Use 2 pints = 1 quart.)
You are measuring 3/4 cup of milk for the crust. Which measurements are equivalent to 3/4 cup? (Select 2.)
Use: 1 cup = 16 tablespoons, and 1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons.
Match each measurement conversion you may need while making apple pie.

The topping needs 1/3 cup sugar for 1 pie. You decide to make 3 pies.
How many cups of sugar do you need?
A recipe step says:
“Add 2/3 cup of flour.”
You only have a 1/3-cup measuring scoop.
Show your work to explain how many scoops you should use to measure 2/3 cup.
You need 1 1/2 quarts of apple slices for a larger pie. How many pints is that? (Use 2 pints = 1 quart.)
