Joslani is making slime and the recipe calls for 5/8 teaspoon of coloring. He only has a 1/8 measuring tool available. How many times will he need to fill his measuring spoon to have enough coloring to follow the recipe?(1 point)
To find out how many times Joslani needs to fill his measuring spoon, he needs to divide the amount of coloring called for in the recipe by the amount the measuring spoon holds.
5/8 ÷ 1/8=5/8 * 8/1=5 times
Thus, Joslani will need to fill his measuring spoon 5 times to have enough coloring to follow the recipe. Answer: \boxed{5}.
To find out how many times Joslani needs to fill his measuring spoon, we need to divide the amount needed (5/8 teaspoon) by the measuring spoon size (1/8 teaspoon).
5/8 ÷ 1/8
To divide fractions, we can invert the second fraction and multiply:
5/8 × 8/1
This simplifies to:
(5 × 8) / (8 × 1) = 40/8
Simplifying further gives us the answer:
40/8 = 5
Therefore, Joslani needs to fill his measuring spoon 5 times to have enough coloring to follow the recipe.
To find out how many times Joslani needs to fill his measuring spoon, we can divide the total amount of coloring required by the amount that can be measured with one fill of his 1/8 teaspoon measuring spoon.
The total amount of coloring required is 5/8 teaspoon.
The amount that can be measured with one fill of the 1/8 teaspoon measuring spoon is 1/8 teaspoon.
To find out how many times Joslani needs to fill his measuring spoon, we can divide 5/8 by 1/8.
(5/8) ÷ (1/8) = (5/8) × (8/1) = 5
Therefore, Joslani will need to fill his measuring spoon 5 times to have enough coloring to follow the recipe.
