Question

Carol has 1 5/8cups of yogurt to make smoothies. Each smoothie uses 13 cup of yogurt. What is the maximum number of smoothies that Carol can make with the yogurt?

Answer 1

Answer: 4

Explanation:

1 5/8 / 1/3

1 5/8 = 13/8

13/8 / 1/3 = 13/8 × 3/1

13/8 × 3/1 = 39/8

39/8 = 4.8

if we round down since the .8 is there, we get 4

Answer 2

The maximum number of smoothies she can make is 4 because if you divide 1 5/8ths cups by 1/3 cups you would get 4.8 unless you round to 5cups.
