How much sugar did Paul use on the second week? ** On the 2nd week, Paul halved the first week's sugar, therefore he used 24/2 = <<24/2=12>>12 cups
How much sugar did Paul use on the third week? ** The third week, Paul used 12/2 = <<12/2=6>>6 cups
How much sugar did Paul use on the fourth week? ** The fourth week, he used 6/2 = <<6/2=3>>3 cups
