There are 11/4 cups, and each sample is 1/16 cups, so we have to find <em>how many times 1/16 goes into 11/4</em>. We can do this by dividing <em>11/4 over 1/16</em>. We can do this by multiplying <u>11/4*16/1,</u> as dividing is the same as multiplying the reciprocal. We get <u>176/4</u>, which simplifies to 44 samples.
