Question

Jack has 1 5/3 cups of yogurt to make smoothies. Each smoothie uses 2/5​ cup of yogurt. How many smoothies can Jack make with the yogurt?

Answer 1

Answer: Jack can make 6 smoothies with the yogurt.

Explanation:

Cups of Yogurt available with Jack =$1\frac{5}{3}=\frac{8}{3}$

Cups used for 1 smoothie = $\frac{2}{5}$

Thus if $\frac{2}{5}$ cups of yogurt can make = 1 smoothie

$\frac{8}{3}$ cups of yogurt can make = $\frac{1}{\frac{2}{5}}\times \frac{8}{3}=\frac{20}{3}=6smoothies$

Thus Jack can make 6 smoothies with the yogurt.
