Question

How many 3/8s does it take to make 3/2?

Answer 1

It would take 4
`(3)/(8)` s to make
`(3)/(2)`

Explanation:

To find how many 3/8s it takes to make 3/2, we just have to divide

`(3)/(2) / (3)/(8)`

Because, we just need to know how many times we need to divide
`(3)/(2)` until get
`(3)/(8)`.

So, the division would be

`(3)/(2) / (3)/(8)=(3)/(2) * (8)/(3)=(24)/(6)=4`

Therefore,

it would take 4
`(3)/(8)` s to make
`(3)/(2)`

Answer 2

We need 4 3/8's

Explanation:

How many 3/8 does it take to make 3/2

3/8 * x = 3/2

Divide each side by 3/8

x = 3/2 ÷ 3/8

Copy dot flip

x = 3/2* 8/3

x = 3/3 *8/2

x =4

We need 4 3/8's
