How many 2/3 cup sugar bowls can be filled from 8 cups of sugar?

(2/3)cup/bowl * n bowls = 8 cups

n = 8(3/2) = 12

To find out how many 2/3 cup sugar bowls can be filled from 8 cups of sugar, we need to divide the total amount of sugar by the capacity of each sugar bowl.

First, let's convert 8 cups to thirds. Since there are 3 thirds in 1 cup, we multiply 8 by 3 to get:

8 cups x 3 thirds = 24 thirds.

Next, we divide the total amount of sugar (24 thirds) by the capacity of each sugar bowl (2/3 cup):

24 thirds ÷ 2/3 cup = (24/1) ÷ (2/3).

To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction, so we have:

(24/1) x (3/2) = (24 x 3) ÷ (1 x 2) = 72 ÷ 2 = 36.

Therefore, you can fill 36 2/3 cup sugar bowls from 8 cups of sugar.

To find out how many 2/3 cup sugar bowls can be filled from 8 cups of sugar, you need to perform a simple calculation:

1. Determine the number of cups in 2/3 cup: Since 1 cup equals 3/3 cup, you can calculate 2/3 cup as (2/3) * (1 cup) = 2/3 cup.

2. Divide the total amount of sugar (8 cups) by the amount of sugar in each 2/3 cup bowl (2/3 cup). So the calculation would be 8 cups / (2/3 cup).

To divide by a fraction, you can multiply by its reciprocal. The reciprocal of 2/3 is 3/2. Therefore, the calculation simplifies to multiplying 8 cups by 3/2.

Multiplying 8 cups by 3/2 equals 24/2 cups, or 12 cups.

So, from 8 cups of sugar, you can fill approximately 12 (2/3 cup) sugar bowls.
