Question

Max has 3/4 of a pitcher filled with fertilizer. If it takes 1/8 of a pitcher of fertilizer to cover a rose garden, how many rose gardens can Max cover?

Answer 1

The best way to solve equations with fractions is to get a common denominator. So, 3/4 will become 6/8 and 1/8 will stay. Now we can solve: when dividing fractions with common denominators, it is easy to just find how many times the smaller one fits into the larger one. So, 1/8 goes into 6/8 six times. In conclusion, the answer is 6 rose gardens.

Answer 2

6 is the answer to the question you gave.
