there are 1 4ths of a pear in every container of a fruit salad. how many whole pear in 8 container of fruit salad ?
(1/4) * 8 = 8/4 = 2
To solve this problem, we need to find out how many whole pears are in 8 containers of fruit salad. Since each container has 1/4th of a pear, we can find the number of whole pears by multiplying the number of containers (8) by the fraction of a pear in each container (1/4).
To do this calculation, we multiply 8 by 1/4:
8 * 1/4 = 8/4 = 2
Therefore, there are 2 whole pears in 8 containers of fruit salad.
