$3/96$ cups of sugar per brownie.

I'm going to assume that there is an equal amount of sugar in each brownie. Therefore, there are

$(3/8)/12=3/96$ cups of sugar per brownie.

A recipe for brownies calls for 3/83/8 cup of sugar and the recipe makes 12 brownies. What fraction of a cup is in each brownie?
