Identify Butter Amount: First, identify the amount of butter used for the pumpkin bars, which is 1.5 cups.
Calculate Frosting Butter: Next, calculate the amount of butter for the frosting by multiplying the amount used for the bars by 0.25. So, 1.5 cups ×0.25=0.375 cups.
Check Calculation: Finally, check the calculation: 1.5×0.25=0.375. Looks correct, no math errors here.
