Answer:

The maximal number of smothies that Carol can make with the yogurt is 4.

Explanation:

Divide the number of cups Carol has by the number of cups needed to make one smoothie.


1(5)/(8):(1)/(3)=(13)/(8)\cdot (3)/(1)=(39)/(8)=4(7)/(8).

The maximal number of smothies that Carol can make with the yogurt is 4.
