Question

Carlos has 1 3/5 cups of yogurt to make smoothies. Each smoothies uses 1/2 cup of yogurt. what is the maximum number of smoothies Carlos can make with the yogurt?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Carlos has 1 3/5 cups of yogurt, which is equivalent to (5/5 + 3/5) = 8/5 cups of yogurt.

Each smoothie uses 1/2 cup of yogurt.

Now, we can divide the total amount of yogurt by the amount used for each smoothie to find the maximum number of smoothies:

(8/5) / (1/2) = (8/5) * (2/1) = 16/5

Therefore, Carlos can make a maximum of 16/5 or 3 1/5 smoothies with the available amount of yogurt
