Question

There is 3/4 of pizza leftover from the night before . how many 1/8 portions are there

Answer 1

You would convert 3/4 to 6/8 and find how many times 1/8 goes into it and you would get 6.

Answer 2

We want to know how many 1/8's are in 3/4, so we divide.

$\sf\dfrac{3}{4}\div\dfrac{1}{8}$

Flip the 2nd fraction and multiply:

$\sf\dfrac{3}{4}\times\dfrac{8}{1}$

Multiply the numerators and denominators together:

$\sf\dfrac{3\times8}{4\times1}\rightarrow\dfrac{24}{4}$

Divide:

$\boxed{\sf6}$
