Question

Bailey was mixing some instant pudding. The directions said to add 2 cups of milk to the contents of the package. The only measuring cup that she could find was a 2/3 cup. How many times should she fill this measuring cup

Answer 1

The question is what is the solution to the following equation:

$\frac{2}{3} *x=2$
: How many times 2/3 have to be used to give 2?

We solve this by multiplying both sides of the equation by 3 first, to get rid of the fraction:

$\frac{2*3}{3} *x=2*3$

$2*x=6$

now, let' divide it by2:

x=3

so she needs to do this three times.

Answer 2

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Bailey should fill the measuring cup 3 times.
