Question

Ron made 2/3 of a quart of hot chocolate. Each mug holds 1/3 of a quart. How many mugs will ron be able to fill ?

Answer 1

pretty sure its 2 mugs

Answer 2

2 mugs.

Explanation:

We have been given that Ron made
`(2)/(3)` of a quart of hot chocolate. Each mug holds
`(1)/(3)` of a quart.

To find the number of mugs that can be filled by
`(2)/(3)` quart of hot chocolate, we will divide
`(2)/(3)` by
`(1)/(3)` as:

`(2)/(3)/(1)/(3)`

Now, we will convert the division problem to multiplication problem by flipping the 2nd fraction as:

`(2)/(3)*(3)/(1)`

`(2* 3)/(3* 1)`

`(2*1)/(1* 1)`

`2`

Therefore, Ron will be able to fill 2 mugs.
