Question

Mr. Miller uses 1.5 cups of beans to make a side dish. If he has 45.75 cups of beans, how many side dishes can he make?​

Answer 1

45.75 cups / 1.5 cups = 30.5 side dishes.

Explanation:

To find out how many side dishes Mr. Miller can make with 45.75 cups of beans, we need to divide the total amount of beans by the amount used per side dish.

Mr. Miller uses 1.5 cups of beans to make one side dish.

To find the number of side dishes, we divide the total amount of beans (45.75 cups) by the amount used per side dish (1.5 cups):

45.75 cups / 1.5 cups = 30.5 side dishes.

So, Mr. Miller can make approximately 30.5 side dishes with 45.75 cups of beans. Since we can't make half a side dish, we would round down to 30 whole side dishes.
