All of the ingredients are purchased in bulk sizes. The butter comes in 12-cup containers. How many recipes will each container of butter be able to make?

some information is missing, so I looked for similar questions and found the attached image:

since each recipe requires ¹/₂ cup of butter, you are able to make 12 ÷ ¹/₂ = 24 recipes with one container of butter (assuming you have all the other ingredients).

One-half, ¹/₂, is a fraction that can also be written in decimal form as 0.5. Two times ¹/₂ is equal to 1, and similarly, twenty four times ¹/₂ is equal to 12.

you need to give us more information since we can't answer
