Question

Jack has 1 5/3 cups of yogurt to make smoothies. Each smoothie uses 2/5​ cup of yogurt. How many smoothies can Jack make with the yogurt?

Answer 1

Answer: Jack can make 6 smoothies with the yogurt.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cups of Yogurt available with Jack =
`1(5)/(3)=(8)/(3)`

Cups used for 1 smoothie =
`(2)/(5)`

Thus if
`(2)/(5)` cups of yogurt can make = 1 smoothie

`(8)/(3)` cups of yogurt can make =
`(1)/((2)/(5))*  (8)/(3)=(20)/(3)=6smoothies`

Thus Jack can make 6 smoothies with the yogurt.
