If Joslani is making slime and the recipe calls for teaspoon of coloring. Joslani will need to fill his measuring spoon 5 times to have enough coloring to follow the recipe.
What is the measurement?
Joslani must fill his measuring spoon more than once in order to obtain the necessary quantity of (5)/(8) teaspoon because its capacity is just (1)/(8) teaspoon.
To determine the number of times Joslani needs to fill his measuring spoon divide the required amount by the capacity of the spoon:
(5)/(8) teaspoon ÷ (1)/(8) teaspoon
= 5 ÷ 1
= 5
Therefore Joslani will need to fill his measuring spoon 5 times to have enough coloring to follow the recipe.
The complete question is:
Joslani is making slime and the recipe calls for (5)/(8) teaspoon of coloring. He only has a (1)/(8) measuring tool available. How many times will he need to fill his measuring spoon to have enough coloring to follow the recipe?
