Rachel is making nachos for a party. The recipe calls for 2/3 cup of cheese for each plate of nachos. How many full plates of nachos can Rachel make with 5 cups of cheese?

Answer:

7

Explanation:

To find the answer you have to divide 5 by 2/3, if you use a calculator you'll get the answer 7.5, which isn't a whole so simply round it down to 7; as if you rounded it up to 8 you'd have way too many plates of nachos to actually be able to make that amount with how much cheese you have lol, hope this helped !!!
