Question

Mrs. Bartlett lost her 1/4 cup measuring cup and only has a 1/8 cup measuring cup. How many times will she need to fill the 1/8 cup measuring to measure out the 1 1/4 sugar for her pie?.

Answer 1

22 times

Explanation:

this problem can be solved by representing it in an algbraic equation

let the number of times needed to measure out by represented by y

`(1)/(8)` × y =
`(11)/(4)`

y=
`(11)/(4)` ÷
`(1)/(8)`

y=
`(11)/(4)` ×
`(8)/(1)`

y=88/4

y=22

Mrs. Bartlett will need to fill her 1/8 cup 22 times inorder to measure out 11/4 sugar for her pie
