 * Multiply 1/3 cup and 2. The result is 2/3 cup of molasses.


 * 5-1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
 * Change 2-3/4 cups of all-purpose flour into a improper fraction. That comes out to 11/4. Multiply 11/4 and 2 which is 22/4 and is simplified to 5-1/2.


 * 1 cup of baking soda
 * Multiply 1 or 1/1 and 2 or 2/1. This comes out to 2.


 * 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon
 * Multiply 2 and 2. This equals to 4.


 * 1 teaspoon of ground ginger

 * =How to Cut the Recipe in Half (from 12 to 6)=


 * 1/4 cup butter
 * Divide 1/2 and 2 or 2/1 which comes out to 1/4.

> 2/6 which came be simplified to 1/3.
 * 1/3 cup of packed brown sugar
 * Divide 2/3 and 2/1 or 2. The reciprocal of 2 is 1/2. Mutiply 2/3 and 1/2 which comes out to


 * 1/2 of an egg
 * Divide 1 or 1/1 from 2 or 2/1. Flip 2/1 which is 1/2. 1 times 1/2 equals 1/2.


 * 1/6 cup of molssases
 * Divide 1/3 by 2 or 2/1. Then, mutiply 1/3 and 1/2 which comes out to 1/6.


 * 1-3/8 cups of all-purpose flour
 * Divide 2-3/4 by 2 or 2/1. Make 2-3/4 into an improper fraction. This comes out to 11/4. Multiply 11/4 and the reciprocal of 2/1 which is 1/2. This comes out to 11/8 and is simplified to 1-3/8.


 * 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
 * Divide 1or 1/1 by 2 or 2/1. Multiply 1 and 1/2. This comes out to 1/2.


 * 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
 * Divide 2/1 and 2/1. 2/1 times 1/2 equals 2/2 or 1.


 * 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger
 * Divide 1 or 1/1 by 2 or 2/1. 1 times 1/2 equals 1/2.


 * 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg
 * Divide 1/2 by 2 or 2/1. 1/2 time 1/2 equals 1/4.


 * 1/6 cup of butter
 * Divide 1/3 by 2 or 2/1. 1/3 times 1/2 equals 1/6.


 * 1 cup of confectioners' sugar
 * Divide 2 by 2. 2/1 times 1/2 equals 2/2 or 1.


 * 1/2 tablespoon of milk
 * Divide 1 or 1/1 by 2 or 2/1. 1/1 times 1/2 equals 1/2.


 * 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract
 * Divide 1/2 by 2 or 2/1. 1/2 times 1/2 equals 1/4.
