Question

Lisa eats a bowl of cereal every morning for breakfast. She has 3/4

gallon of milk. She uses 3/32 gallon of milk for each bowl. How many
bowls of cereal can Lisa eat? If needed, simplify your answer.

Answer 1

Let’s expand the fraction so it has common denominators. 3/4 times multiply both the numerator and denominator by 8. Now that’s 24/32.
Now we have fractions with equal denominators making it easier to work with.
3/32 goes in 24/32 a solid eight times so she’ll be able to eat 8 bowls of cereal before it runs out. Hope this helps.
