Hi Karen,
I’m glad you found this handy. I used it myself this weekend, too.
When I found it in my files, I immediately knew somebody out there would need a chart like this.

This is a GREAT REFERENCE!! Well done you!!! Many thanks!
This is awesome I will be using it a lot, especially since my math is terrible. thank you
OMG! I can’t tell you how useful this will be someone new at cooking like myself! Thank you so much! You just saved me a LOT of money! ;)
Thank you so much. I was looking for that website.
I’ve always had trouble with fractions and this chart makes it so easy working with recipes. Thank you so much!!
Awesome! Thanks!! Usedit for kids homework.
thank you!! the site really helps me out.. I saved it in my bookmarks in my phone for future use..
I wish you had 3 1/4 cups halved, then it would be more useful
Thank you so much I added your site to my favorites so I could go back when I need to…Math has always been my weakness. could you add for triple and quadruple recipes and also for larger quantities 10X;s or more for larger social gatherings.
My church has a luncheon after services and I was picked to make couple side and one main dish for 60 to 80 people. I have until July 20,2014 to do something.
Sure — I’ll try to get that together for next weekend :)
So glad I found this was very helpful
Thank you for this helpful chart
