Last year she earned: $25
This year: 8 times last year
8 x 25 = 200
She raised $200 this year.
What we can do in this case is to draw the number of cups of 1/8 that are needed to reach the measure of 9/12.
We have then:
(9/12) / (1/8)
Applying double c:
((9) * (8)) / (12)
Simplifying:
((9) * (2)) / (3)
((3) * (2)) / (1)
(3) * (2)
6
