Question

Mr.Jones has 3/4 cup of fertilizer. He will use a 1/8 cup measuring scoop to pour all of the fertilizer onto his plants. How many times will Mr. Jones fill the measuring scoop with fertilizer?

Answer 1

Answer:

Mr. Jones fills the cup 6 times with fertilizer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The capacity of the measuring cup = 1/8 cup

The total quantity of the fertilizer = 3/4 cup

Noe, as we know

total measure fertilizer =  The capacity of the cup X number of times it takes.

So, $\frac{3}{4} = n \times \frac{1}{8}$

or, here $n = \frac{3 \times 8}{4} = 6$

So, Mr. Jones fills the cup 6 times with fertilizer.
