Answer:

First make mixed

4x2=8+1=9 9/2 is the same value without any wholes

9/2 and 1/16

9/2 / 1/16 flip the 1/16 over and multiply instead

9/2 x 16/1 = 144/2

144/2 is 72 scoops. You can do 144 divided by 2 to see how many whole numbers there are to find the amount of scoops.

Hope this helps. Your answer is 72 scoops
