Lee has a 1 1/2 pound supply of Kitty Biscuit Treats. Each day he gives his kitten 1/8 pound of the biscuits. For how many day will his supply last?
(3/2) / (1/8)
(3/2) * 8 = ?
(3/2) * 8 = （3*8）/2 = 24/2 =12
To find out how many days Lee's supply of Kitty Biscuit Treats will last, we need to divide the total supply by the amount given each day.
To do this, we first need to convert the supply into a common fraction. Since there are 2 halves in a whole, 1 1/2 can be converted to the improper fraction 3/2.
Next, we divide the supply of 3/2 pounds by the amount given each day, which is 1/8 pound.
To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction (the supply) by the reciprocal of the second fraction (the amount given each day). The reciprocal of 1/8 is 8/1.
So, we have (3/2) ÷ (1/8) = (3/2) x (8/1) = 24/2 = 12.
Therefore, Lee's supply of Kitty Biscuit Treats will last for 12 days.
