In the provided image, the problem is asking Drake to make half a batch of cookies by cutting the recipe in half. Specifically, it asks how much salt Drake will need if the recipe is cut in half.

The original amount of salt in the recipe is $\frac{1}{2}$ teaspoon.

To find the amount of salt for half a batch: $\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{4} \text{ teaspoon}$

So, Drake will need $\frac{1}{4}$ teaspoon of salt to make half a batch of cookies.

Would you like more details on the solution or have any other questions? Here are some additional questions that might help expand on this:

1. How do you calculate half of other ingredients in the recipe?
2. What if Drake needed to triple the recipe instead of halving it?
3. How do you handle fractions when multiplying or dividing?
4. Can you explain the concept of dividing fractions further?
5. What happens to the other ingredients when scaling a recipe up or down?

Tip: When scaling recipes or any quantities, remember that you need to multiply or divide all the measurements consistently.
