Answer:

27 meals

Explanation:

Divide 9 cups by (1/3 cup per meal):

9 cups 9 3

--------------------- = ----- * ----- meals = 27 meals

1/3 cup / meal 1 1

Recall that division by a fraction is equivalent to multiplying by the reciprocal of that fraction: Division by 1/3 is equivalent to multiplying by 3/1.
