nisha is following a recipe for tomatoe sauce that calls for 1 3/4 tsps of oregano. she is using a measuring spoon that holds 1/8 tsp. how many times ill she need to fill the measuring spoon with oregano to make the tomato sauce?

I thought it was multiplication, but I was wrong:(

1 3/4 = 7/4

(7/4) / (1/8)
(7/4) * (8/1) = 56/4 = 14

14

To determine how many times Nisha needs to fill the measuring spoon with oregano, you need to divide the total amount of oregano required by the capacity of the measuring spoon.

The recipe calls for 1 3/4 teaspoons of oregano. To convert this to a single fraction, we multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the numerator. Thus, 1 3/4 can be written as 7/4.

Next, we need to divide this total amount of oregano by the capacity of the measuring spoon, which is 1/8 tsp.

To calculate the number of times Nisha needs to fill the measuring spoon, we can use the following division:

7/4 ÷ 1/8

To divide fractions, we invert the second fraction and multiply:

7/4 × 8/1

Simplifying the multiplication gives us:

56/4

To simplify further, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4:

56/4 = 14/1

Therefore, Nisha needs to fill the measuring spoon with oregano 14 times to make the tomato sauce.

To solve this problem, you need to use division instead of multiplication. Let's break down the given information step by step:

1. The recipe calls for 1 3/4 teaspoons of oregano.
2. The measuring spoon holds 1/8 teaspoon of oregano.

To find out how many times Nisha needs to fill the measuring spoon with oregano, we need to divide the total amount of oregano required by the amount that the spoon can hold.

Step 1: Convert 1 3/4 teaspoons of oregano to an improper fraction.
- Multiply the whole number (1) by the denominator (4), then add the numerator (3).
- 1 * 4 = 4. So, 4 + 3 = 7.
- The improper fraction is 7/4.

Step 2: Divide the total amount of oregano required by the amount the measuring spoon can hold.
- Divide 7/4 by 1/8.
- To divide fractions, multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
- 7/4 * 8/1 = 56/4.
- Simplify the fraction if possible. Both numbers are divisible by 4, so divide both by 4.
- 56/4 ÷ 4/4 = 14.

The answer is 14. Nisha will need to fill the measuring spoon with oregano 14 times to make the tomato sauce according to the recipe.
