Matt's Ice Cream Shoppe has 7 cups of sprinkles to use on sundaes for the rest of the day. If each sundae is served with
1
8
cup of sprinkles, how many sundaes can they serve?
A.
7
1
8
sundaes
B.
15
sundaes
C.
30
sundaes
D.
56
sundaes
The correct answer is B. 15 sundaes.
To find out how many sundaes can be served, we need to divide the total amount of sprinkles by the amount used per sundae:
7 cups of sprinkles รท 1/8 cup of sprinkles per sundae = 56 sundaes
Therefore, Matt's Ice Cream Shoppe can serve 15 sundaes with the remaining 7 cups of sprinkles.
