Question

Mr.Jones has 3/4 cup of fertilizer. He will use a 1/8 cup measuring scoop to pour all of the fertilizer onto his plants. How many times will Mr. Jones fill the measuring scoop with fertilizer?

Answer 1

Mr. Jones fills the cup 6 times with fertilizer.

Explanation:

The capacity of the measuring cup = 1/8 cup

The total quantity of the fertilizer = 3/4 cup

Noe, as we know

total measure fertilizer = The capacity of the cup X number of times it takes.

So,
`(3)/(4)   = n * (1)/(8)`

or, here
`n = (3 * 8)/(4)  = 6`

So, Mr. Jones fills the cup 6 times with fertilizer.
