Question

There are 5 cups of oatmeal in a container. Jessica eats 1/3 cup of the oatmeal every day for breakfast. In how many days will Jessica finish all the oatmeal in the container?

Answer 1

Answer:

It would take Jessica 15 days to finish the container.

Step-by-step explanation:

To work this out you would first multiply 1/3 by 3, which gives you 3/3 or 1. This shows that it would take Jessica 3 days to eat 1 cup of oatmeal. Then you would multiply 3 by 5, which is 15. This means that it would take Jessica 15 days to finish the container.

1)  Multiply 1/3 by 3.

$\frac{1}{3} *3=\frac{3}{3} or 1$

2) Multiply 3 by 5.

$3*5=15$
