Question

Nick has fraction 1 over 2 cup of syrup. He uses fraction 1 over 6 cup of syrup to make a bowl of granola. Part A: How many bowls of granola can Nick make with fraction 1 over 2 cup of syrup? Part B: On your own paper, draw a fraction model that shows the total number of bowls of granola that Nick can make with fraction 1 over 2 cup of syrup. Make sure to label the model. Below, explain your model in detail to describe how this model visually shows the solution for Part A.

Answer 1

Answer: There are 3 bowls of granola that Nick can make.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Part of syrup used by Nick = $\dfrac{1}{2}$

Part of syrup used by Nick to make a bowl of granola = $\dfrac{1}{6}$

So, Number of bowls would be

$\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}}{\dfrac{1}{6}}\\\\=\dfrac{6}{2}\\\\=3$

Hence, there are 3 bowls of granola that Nick can make.

Answer 2

If he uses 1\6 cup for every bowl and 1\2 is the same thing as 3\6 he can make three bowls of granola! hope this helps!!!
