Answer 1

Mrs jones uses 1/4 of a pint of milk on her cereal each morning.
How many bowls of cereal will 4 pints of milk last ?

1/4x=4/1
(4/1)/(1/4)=x
x=16, therefore 16 bowls
hope this helps i just had a test with this question

Answer 2

To do this, we need to divide 4/1 by 1/2. When dividing fractions we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.


`(4)/(1) (multiply) (2)/(1)` =
`(8)/(1) (simplify) = 8`

The answer is 8.
