Bailey was mixing some instant pudding. The directions said to add 2 cups of milk to the contents of the package. The only measuring cup that she could find was a 2/3 cup. How many times should she fill this measuring cup

The question is what is the solution to the following equation:


(2)/(3) *x=2
: How many times 2/3 have to be used to give 2?

We solve this by multiplying both sides of the equation by 3 first, to get rid of the fraction:


(2*3)/(3) *x=2*3


2*x=6

now, let' divide it by2:

x=3

so she needs to do this three times.
