Emily’s lemon cookie recipe call for 1/4 of a cup of sugar. How much sugar would Emily use to make a half of a batch of cookies?

If Emily's recipe calls for \( \frac{1}{4} \) of a cup of sugar for a full batch, then for half a batch, she would use half of that amount.

To find out how much sugar Emily needs, we simply divide \( \frac{1}{4} \) by 2:

\[
\text{Sugar for half a batch} = \frac{1}{4} \div 2 = \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{8}
\]

So, Emily would use **\( \frac{1}{8} \) of a cup of sugar** to make half a batch of cookies.
