Question

Bev has 1/3 cup of cereal. Her bowl holds 1/2 cup of cereal. How much of the bowl can she fill with cereal?

Answer 1

2/3

Explanation:

Given that :

Bev's cup capacity = 1/2

Fraction of cereal Bev has = 1/3

How much of the amount can be filled by the cup of cereal Bev has?

Fraction of cereal Bev has OF cup capacity

1/3 ÷ 1/2

1/3 * 2/1

(1*2) / (3*1)

= 2/3 of Bev's 1/2 capacity cup

Hence, 1/3 cup of cereal which Bev has will fill 2/3 of Bev's 1/2 capacity cup of cereal.
