Question

When 1/8 cup of popcorn kernels are popped, they create 5 cups of popped corn. How many cups of popcorn would 1 cup of kernels produce?
A.58cup
B.478cups
C.518cups
D.40 cups

Answer 1

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Because it is 1/8 it is much easier.

8 times 5 = 40

So you know that 1/8 was timesed by 40 to get 5. This means you can times x by 40 to get the cups of popcorn the kernels would produce. That means 1 times 40 equals 40. Making the cups of popcorn the kernels would produce is 40.
