4 portions = 1/2cup
6 portions = ?
I don't know... you're not having me try and solve for a letter. That's all numbers so I would think it's pretty straightforward.
However, is that 4 portions 1/2 cup each or is the total of the four portions equaling 1/2 cup.
Maybe I just learn weird? I don't know.

I don't mean to sound like a dork, but IMO, learning mathematics is not all about smarts (you don't have to be a genius to learn and appreciate it): it requires a mixture of intellect, playfulness, curiosity, interest, and a willingness to engage the material via one's own initiative.
BTW, it's great to hear that your daughter enjoys math; she sounds like she's very intellectually curious, gifted/multi-talented, and more importantly, a kind person. I wish you and her the best.
Thank you very much. I'll be sure to tell her you said that.
