Answer:
He used 6 containers
Explanation:
This is a division problem because we want to know how many containers he will need, We are dividing our original popcorn into smaller portions
Dividing fractions is the same thing as multiplying by the reciprocal. In simpler words, the first fraction stays the same, but flip the second fraction
so, 3/4 divided by 1/8 would be 3/4*8/1,
let's multiply the top by the top and the bottom with the bottom, so 3*8 and 4*1, we will get 24 and 4 or 24/4
We can simplify this equation because 4 goes into 4 once and 4 goes into 24 6 times, basically divide both top and bottom by 4,
Our final answer is 6/1 ( any number over 1 is that number) or 6
Therefore he used 6 containers
