Nick has fraction 1 over 2 cup of syrup. He uses fraction 1 over 6 cup of syrup to make a bowl of granola. Part A: How many bowls of granola can Nick make with fraction 1 over 2 cup of syrup? Part B: On your own paper, draw a fraction model that shows the total number of bowls of granola that Nick can make with fraction 1 over 2 cup of syrup. Make sure to label the model. Below, explain your model in detail to describe how this model visually shows the solution for Part A.

Answer: There are 3 bowls of granola that Nick can make.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Part of syrup used by Nick =
(1)/(2)

Part of syrup used by Nick to make a bowl of granola =
(1)/(6)

So, Number of bowls would be


((1)/(2))/((1)/(6))\\\\=(6)/(2)\\\\=3

Hence, there are 3 bowls of granola that Nick can make.

Nick has fraction 1 over 2 cup of syrup. He uses fraction 1 over 6 cup of syrup to-example-1
