To answer this question we will have to understand the nature of \sqrt{8}.

\sqrt{8} can be rewritten as: \sqrt{2\times 2\times 2} =2\sqrt{2}. Now, \sqrt{2} is an irrational number and thus any of the four operations of addition, multiplication, subtraction or division placed anywhere between any of these terms will always result in an irrational number.

The only way irrational numbers can be made rational is by dividing or multiplying the given irrational number by the same irrational number.

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

the number of times Angela needs to fill the 1/4-cup measuring cup to pour 1/2 cup of milk is 2.

Complete question:

While making oatmeal cookies, Angela needs to add 1/2 cup of milk to her dough. However, she has only a 1/4-cup measuring cup. How many times does she need to fill the measuring cup to pour 1/2 cup of milk? The number of times Angela needs to fill the 1/4-cup measuring cup to pour 1/2 cup of milk is?

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of cups Angela needs to add to her dough = 1/2 cup of milk

The only measuring cup she has = 1/4-cup measuring cup.

To determine the number of times she needs to fill the measuring cup to pour 1/2 cup of milk, we would divide the 1/2 cup of milk by 1/4-cup measuring cup

= ½ ÷ ¼

= ½ × 4/1

= 4/2

= 2

Angela would need to fill 2 times

Therefore, the number of times Angela needs to fill the 1/4-cup measuring cup to pour 1/2 cup of milk is 2
