Question

Mr. Jones has 3/4 cup of fertilizer. He will use a 1/8 cup measuring scoop to pour all of the fertilizer onto his plants. How many times will Mr. Jones fill the measuring scoop with fertilizer? Write your answer in the box.

Answer 1

6 times

Explanation:

We will have to divide in order to solve this problem.

`(3)/(4)`÷
`(1)/(8)`

We will have to find the reciprocal of 1/8, which is basically flipping it, so it is 8.

After, we will have to multiply 3/4x8. The product would come out as 24/4, and if you simplify it, the answer will be 6 times.
