Question

Maya has 5/6 cup of ice cream. how many 1/4 cup servings are in 5/6 cup of ice cream

Answer 1

Find the LCD (least common denominator)
$\frac{5}{6} and \frac{1}{4}$

it would be 12 (6x2=12 and 4x3=12)

so you multiply $\frac{5}{6}$ by 2 and get $\frac{10}{12}$
then multiply $\frac{1}{4}$ by 3 and get $\frac{3}{12}$

you get 3 WHOLE servings from $\frac{5}{6}$ cups of icecream
