Question

18. Mrs. McGlashan is making paint for her class. She needs 3/4 cup of warm water for each batch. Part-A Mrs. McGlashan has a 1-cup measure that has no other markings. Can she make 8 batches of paint using only the 1-cup measure? Describe two ways you can find the answer.

Answer 1

Explanation:

3/4 c. warm water per batch, times 8 batches, comes out to 6 cups. "Batches" cancels. Certainly this will "work:" measure out 6 full cups.
