Question

Thomas is making fruit punch for a party. The recipe calls for 5/8 gallon of orange juice to make a full pitcher of punch.

How many full pitchers of punch can Thomas make with 2 gallons of orange juice

Answer 1

3 remainder 1

Explanation:

We have 2 gallons of orange juice and for each pitcher we need 5/8 of a gallon 1 gallon is = to a whole number so in this case 8/8 but because we have 2 gallons we can put it down at 16/8. 5 goes into 16, 3 times with 1 left over we can mark that as a Reminder
