The problem states that a recipe requires \(\frac{5}{6}\) of a cup of sugar. Mrs. Marina is making half of the recipe, so we need to find how much sugar she needs for half the recipe.

### Solution:
To find out how much sugar she needs for half the recipe, multiply the amount of sugar by \(\frac{1}{2}\):

\[
\text{Amount of sugar} = \frac{5}{6} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{5 \times 1}{6 \times 2} = \frac{5}{12}
\]

So, Mrs. Marina will need \(\frac{5}{12}\) of a cup of sugar for half the recipe.

Here are five related questions you could explore:
1. If the recipe required \(\frac{3}{4}\) of a cup of sugar, how much would Mrs. Marina need for half the recipe?
2. What if she wanted to make one-third of the recipe instead? How much sugar would she need?
3. How much sugar would she need if the recipe required 2 cups of sugar, and she made one-fourth of it?
4. How would you convert \(\frac{5}{12}\) into a decimal?
5. If the total amount of sugar needed was increased to 1 cup, how would that affect the amount for half the recipe?

**Tip:** Multiplying fractions can be simplified by multiplying the numerators and denominators directly, but always check if you can simplify the result afterward.

A recipe requires 5/6 of a cup of sugar. If Mrs. Marina is going to make one half of the recipe, how much sugar does she need?

Learn how to calculate the amount of sugar needed when a recipe calls for 5/6 of a cup of sugar, and you are making half the recipe. This problem involves multiplying fractions and is suitable for students in Grades 5-7.
