Errol has 8 cups of rice LEFT. His recipe needs 3/4 OF A CUP of rice. How many times can he make the recipe before he runs out of rice?
sry for caps it's written that way
help appreciated :)
simple, what is
8 ÷ (3/4) ?
8/1 x 4/3= 32/3?
i think
he can make his recipe 10 times?
Yes, he will be 1/3 of a cup short to make the 11th.
To determine how many times Errol can make the recipe before running out of rice, we need to divide the amount of rice he has by the amount of rice needed for each recipe.
1. First, let's convert the fraction 3/4 to a decimal. To do this, we divide 3 by 4: 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75
2. Next, we divide the total amount of rice Errol has (8 cups) by the rice needed for each recipe (0.75 cups). The formula would be: 8 cups ÷ 0.75 cups = 10.67, or approximately 10.67.
Since we cannot have a fraction of a recipe, we have to round down to the nearest whole number. Therefore, Errol can make the recipe approximately 10 times before he runs out of rice.
