Travis is making 5 lasagna using 12 cups of cheese. Which number represents the amount of cheese he will use per lasagna?
12/5 = ?
Ms. Sue, post an answer instead of a question please. But to answer your question, it is 2.4 cups of lasagna, or 2 2/5 cups
I wouldn't insult this student by doing a simple division problem for him.
To find the amount of cheese Travis will use per lasagna, we need to divide the total amount of cheese (12 cups) by the number of lasagnas (5).
To do this, divide 12 by 5:
12 cups / 5 lasagnas = 2.4 cups
So, Travis will use 2.4 cups of cheese per lasagna.
