Question

Ayden is making smoothies. Each smoothie needs 1/4 cups of yogurt. He has 2 1/2 cups of yogurt. How many smoothies can he make?

A. 10 smoothies

B. 8 smoothies

C. 5 smoothies

D. 12 smoothies

Answer 1

10 smoothies

Split 1/2 into 2/4, then take the whole numbers and imagine putting 1/4 to make a whole. So then for the whole numbers you have 8/4, or 2.

8/4 plus 2/4 is 10/4 so you can make ten per each 1/4

Answer 2

Ayden can make 10 smoothies

Explanation:

1 cup of yogurt would be equal to four 1/4 cups.

2 cups of yogurt would be equal to eight 1/4 cups.

1/2 cup of yogurt would be equal to two 1/4 cups.

If two cups of yogurt equals eight 1/4 cups and 1/2 cup equals two 1/4, Ayden would be able to make 10 smoothies with the amount he has.
