So, how many 1/4 are in 2/3? 2 ⅔. That’s two full quarters and a fraction of a third one. It’s not a whole number, and that’s okay. Life is messy, baking is messy, and math is just a way of tidying the mess—or making it worse, depending on your patience.
Next time you’re in the kitchen, staring at measuring cups, remember: fractions are like that friend who always wants to split a pizza but never in a fair way. You have to negotiate. But with a little flipping and multiplying, you’ll always get the last slice.
Now go bake something. And don’t forget to wash the 1/4 cup. You monster.
