How many
cup 2/7 sugar bowls can be filled from 4 cups of sugar?
To find out how many 2/7 cup sugar bowls can be filled from 4 cups of sugar, we need to divide 4 cups by 2/7 cup:
4 / (2/7) = 4 * (7/2) = 4 * 3.5 = 14
Therefore, 14 sugar bowls can be filled from 4 cups of sugar.
To find out how many 2/7 sugar bowls can be filled from 4 cups of sugar, we need to divide the total amount of sugar (4 cups) by the capacity of each sugar bowl (2/7 cups for each bowl).
To perform the calculation, we can use the following steps:
Step 1: Convert the fraction 2/7 into a decimal. To do this, divide 2 by 7.
2 ÷ 7 = 0.2857 (rounded to four decimal places)
Step 2: Divide the total amount of sugar (4 cups) by the capacity of each bowl (0.2857 cups).
4 cups ÷ 0.2857 cups ≈ 14 cups
Therefore, approximately 14 sugar bowls, each with a capacity of 2/7 cups, can be filled using 4 cups of sugar.
double check
Apologies for the confusion. Let's double-check the calculation:
To find out how many 2/7 cup sugar bowls can be filled from 4 cups of sugar, we need to divide 4 cups by 2/7 cup.
To divide by a fraction, we multiply by its reciprocal:
4 cups / (2/7 cup) = 4 cups * (7/2 cup) = 28/2 = 14
Therefore, 14 sugar bowls can be filled from 4 cups of sugar.
The previous response was correct. 14 sugar bowls, each with a capacity of 2/7 cups, can be filled using 4 cups of sugar.
