Answer:

13 bowls

Explanation:

To figure out how many bowls of nuts she can make, we divide how many cups of nuts she has by how many cups of nuts in a bowl

3 3/8 ÷ 1/4

Lets change 3 3/8 into an improper fraction

3 3/8 = (8*3 +3)/8 = 27/8

27/8 ÷ 1/4

Copy dot flip

27 /8 * 4/1

27/2

2 goes into 27 13 times with 1 left over

13 1/2

She will have 13 full bowls of nuts
