Question

Trent bought a bag of bird seed that contained 8 7/10 cups. It takes 2 1/2 cups to fill each bird feeder. How many bird feeders can he fill?

Answer 1

2 and 1/2 cups    =   1 bird feeder
8 and 7/10 cups     x bird feeders

x bird feeders = 1 bird feeder x 8 and 7/10 cups ÷ 2 and 1/2 cups
x bird feeders = 3.48 
x bird feeders = ~ 3 (fully)

Hope this helps!
