Question

naomi needs 2 cups of chopped apples for a fruit salad she is making .she only has a 1/4 cup. how many times will naomi need to fill the measuring cup to get 2 cups of apples?

Answer 1

1/4 × 8 times = 2 cups
ANSWER : 8 times

Answer 2

8 times

Explanation:

Naomi has
`(1)/(4)` cup but she needs 2 whole cups.

So how many
`(1)/(4)` are there in 2???

We can divide 2 by
`(1)/(4)` to get the number of "one-fourths" there is in 2.

`(2)/((1)/(4))\\=2*(4)/(1)\\=2*4\\=8`

Naomi needs to fill up 8 times.
