The answer is 44 because the equation is 352 divided 8. And 8 goes into 352 44 times. If you want to check the work you can also multiply 44 and 8, and it should be 352.

So the answer is 44

Wendy is creating a large soup based on a recipe. Her recipe calls for of a pint of milk, but she only has of a pint of milk, so

xeze [42]

Answer:

She can only make 5/6 of her recipe with the amount of milk that she has.

Step-by-step explanation:

Some data of this problem is missing, the data missing is:

Her recipe calls for 3/4 of a pint of milk and she only has 5/8 of a pint of milk.

Now, to know what's the portion she can do with that amount we need to divide the amount of milk she has by the total amount she needs:

$\frac{5}{8}$ ÷ $\frac{3}{4}$

When we divide we turn the second fraction upside down (the numerator becomes the denominator and viceversa) and multiply, thus:

$\frac{5}{8}$ ÷ $\frac{3}{4}=\frac{5}{8}$ × $\frac{4}{3} =\frac{20}{24}$

If we simplify this last expression we have:

$\frac{20}{24}=\frac{10}{12} =\frac{5}{6}$

Thus, she can only make 5/6 of her recipe with the amount of milk that she has.

<em>Note: In case the data missing is different, you can apply this same procedure with the fractions you have. </em>
