Question

a. 6
b. 7
c. 8
d. 10

Answer 1

1. You have ½ gallon container of lemonade.
You want to divide it into the cups in which the value of each cup is 1/16 of a gallon
To get the answer, we need to divide our ½ gallon by 1/16
=> Thus ½ divided by 1/16
=> the answer is 8 cups,
You need 8 cups to be able to transfer the one half gallon lemonade to each cups.
So the answer is c. 8
because 16 / 2 = 8
