Question

Marc is making bread that calls for 5 cups of flour. His measuring cup only holds 1/2 cup. How many times will Marc need to fill the measuring cup to get the 5 cups of flour?

Answer 1

Total cups of flour to be filled= 5 cups

Capacity of measuring cup = 1/2 cup

Number of times Marc need to fill the 5 cups with his measuring cup = 5 / (1/2)

`\begin{gathered} =5\text{ / }(1)/(2) \\ =5\text{ x }(2)/(1) \\ =\text{ 10 times} \end{gathered}`
