Question

Anna has 3 3/4 cups of yogurt to make smoothies. Each smoothie uses 1/3 cup of yogurt. What is the maximum number of smoothies that Anna can make with yogurt?

Answer 1

Turn 3 3/4 into an improper fraction, so it becomes 15/4. Then divide 15/4 by 1/3. Which would just be to multiple by the reciprocal, 15/4 times 3/1, to get 11 1/4, and since 1/4 is smaller than 1/3 the maximum number of smoothies is 11
