Question

A restaurant chef made 1 1/8 pints of mushroom soup. Each bowl of soup holds 1/8 of a pint. How many bowls of soup will the chef be able to fill?

Write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number.

Answer 1

9

Explanation:

We can determine the number of bowls that can be made by dividing the size of the bowl by the amount of soup. 1 1/8 can be expressed as 8/8 + 1/8, or 9/8. (9/8)/(1/8) = 9. The chef can fill 9 bowls of soup.

Mushroom soup sounds pretty good right now ngl
