Question

Carlos has 1 5/8 cups of yogurt to make smoothies each smoothie uses 1/3 cup of yogurt​ what is the maximum number of smoothies that Carlo can make with the yogurt.

A:1
B:4
C:5
D:7

Answer 1

The answer is B. 1 5/8 is equivalent to 13/8. Divide 13/8 by 1/3, which is the same as multiplying 13/8 by 3/1, and you get 39/8. 39/8 is greater than 4, but less than 5, so you can make maximum 4 smoothies.
