The quantity of sugar required for 2/4 of the recipe is 1/3 cups

How to solve fraction?

let

  • x = quantity of sugar needed

Ratio of sugar to recipe

2/3 : 1 = x : 2/4

2/3 ÷ 1 = x ÷ 2/4

2/3 × 1/1 = x × 4/2

2/3 = x × 2

2/3 = 2x

x = 2/3 ÷ 2

x = 2/3 × 1/2

= 2/6

x = 1/3 cups

Therefore, the quantity of sugar required for 2/4 of the recipe is 1/3 cups
